STEELWRIST has expanded its North American HQ in Newington, Connecticut, in a move designed to enhance the manufacturer’s machining, local assembly, and product testing capabilities.
The development marks a milestone in the firm’s North American growth and enables the company to deliver products that are assembled and tested in the US.
Since entering the North American market in 2017, Steelwrist revealed it has experienced strong growth as contractors increasingly adopt tiltrotators and fully automatic quick coupler systems. The Newington facility houses warehousing, technical support, training, and now expanded machining, manufacturing and assembly operations all under one roof.
“Ten years ago, as I was travelling across various states in the US looking for the future location of our North American headquarters, I was searching for strong infrastructure, a talented workforce and a collaborative business environment,” said Stefan Stockhaus, Steelwrist CEO. “I was also asking myself where I would like to live, if I were to live in the US. Now, ten years later, I am really happy that we took the decision to go for Connecticut, which indeed has exceeded our expectations.
“With the expansion of our operations in Newington we will now be able to support our growing customer base in North America while ensuring that products are assembled and tested here in the US. This investment reflects both our confidence in the market and our long-term commitment to growth in the region.”
The expansion also supports job creation, with new roles in assembly, testing, logistics and technical support.
