Stadler breaks ground on North American facility

Altshausen, Germany-based Stadler Anlagenbau GmbH has held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new warehouse and office complex in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to host its United States subsidiary, Stadler America LLC.

Stadler, a maker of sorting and recycling equipment and plants, says the new facility “represents a significant investment to support the company's growing customer base across North America.”

The recycling equipment company says the new square footage will provide “enhanced space for operations, inventory and employee growth.”

“The American market is of immense importance to us, and we see great potential beyond what our current facility will be able to support,” says Willi Stadler, CEO of the Stadler Group.

Adds the CEO, “This investment underscores our long-term commitment to this market and ensures excellent support through an expanded inventory of essential spare and wear parts critical to meeting our customers’ needs. We are committed to creating a workspace where our U.S. team feels valued and inspired, fostering an environment where they can perform at their best with enthusiasm and motivation.”

The company says it based its decision because of Stadler’s “remarkable growth” in North America over the past four years. Stadler says its revenue has been increasing by 50 percent year on year.

The new 27,000-square-foot facility will include warehouse and office spaces “designed with sustainability and future scalability in mind,” states the equipment firm.

Comments Mat Everhart, CEO of Stadler America, “The new U.S. headquarters for Stadler America will reflect the fact that service to our customers and each other as colleagues are truly our top priorities. While fast parts service is important, the true key to real service is a highly skilled, friendly, knowledgeable and engaging team member to assist.”

Adds Everhart, “Our new facility will set the backdrop and create a welcoming space for potential new talent seeking an opportunity with Stadler. This is essential as we aim to continue to attract the best and brightest here.”

Stadler America was established in 2016 with four employees in Colfax, North Carolina. The American business unit now has 13 employees, and Stadler says it “supports four out of the top 10 recycling companies in the U.S., along with many other customers.”

The company says its expanded warehouse in the U.S. will allow it “to stock a broader range of spare and wear parts, enhancing after-sales support with faster response times and reduced downtime.”

“Our top priority is our commitment to the American market,” says Willi Stadler. “We want our customers to know that we have all the necessary parts available locally and that they can rely on Stadler in the long term. We are proud of our highly motivated, skilled and well trained team in the U.S.”

Stadler says it is working with Kernersville, North Carolina-based Fourth Elm Construction as its building and design contractor. Also involved in the project are Winston-Salem-based Workplace Architecture + Design and engineering firm McAdams, based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

With roots tracing to 1791, Stadler provides recycling systems and equipment including ballistic separators, conveyors, trommel screens, label removers and bale de-wiring units.
