This new facility can manufacture for the American market, be more competitive, and offer improved price points.
Posted: July 1, 2015
Röhm Products of America (Suwanee, GA), a leading provider of clamping and gripping technologies, has opened a new 32,000 sq ft manufacturing and North American headquarters facility in Suwanee, GA. Three times larger than the company’s previous location, the facility allows Röhm to manufacture in the United States for the first time, as well as expand the service and support it provides customers.
A division of the German-based Röhm Group, Röhm Products of America has been serving the North American metalworking industry since 1978. And with this new facility, it now has the capacity to manufacture for the American market. The transition also enables the company to be more competitive as it can better control the product manufacturing process as well as offer improved price points.
Unlike the company’s former location in Lawrenceville, GA, the new facility has room to provide expanded in-house service on larger products, such as 4 m diameter chucks, with the aid of a 150 ft, 12.5 ton crane rail system. Another major component of the facility is a 25,000 sq ft air-conditioned service center and warehouse that protects the company’s ground steel products from rust and corrosion. A demising wall runs across the warehouse, containing product inventory.
Other facility features include a state-of-the-art showroom, demonstration area, office space, conference room and employee workout room. A training classroom seats up to 30 people; the company previously offered training only at customers’ facilities. The facility also includes room for applications engineering support staff to be located onsite.
