Güdel Expands Operations
The office space of its engineering operations in Troy, MI, have doubled.
Posted: September 14, 2015
Güdel, Inc. (Ann Arbor, MI) has doubled the office space of its Troy, MI, engineering office, which originally opened in January 2014 to be closer to customers for its press automation and powertrain business units. “It has been a very successful strategy for us to locate engineering offices where we can collaborate closely and easily with key customers and partners,” said Stefan Nilsson, the chief executive officer of Güdel.
Metro Detroit, especially the Troy area, is dense with line builders, robot manufacturers and systems integrators, according to Nilsson. “Our office space is now doubled since last year. This reflects growing demand for highly engineered, heavy-duty linear motion technology from us,” he added.
As the company expands its sales and engineering teams, it draws heavily from an area known as Automation Alley (a region of Southeast Michigan which includes Troy). Güdel employs 89 workers in Michigan between its Troy engineering offices and Ann Arbor manufacturing campus, and Güdel Group has more than 1,140 employees worldwide.
