Hainbuch Opens Manufacturing Facility

December 28, 2009

Mequon, WI is the new home to Hainbuch America. The German workholding company moved into the facility in November, and manufacturing is scheduled to commence in the first quarter 2010.

"With implementing a job shop here we will be able to provide better and quicker service to our customers," says Sylvia Rall, Hainbuch co-owner. "For example, we will offer a next-day-shipping service for all grind-outs of Spanntop clamping heads.

Rall came to the U.S. from Germany earlier in the year to aid the transition. She anticipates they will hire 10-12 new employees when full operation is achieved in early 2010.

Jurgen Bettray, president of Hainbuch America, commented, "It was a good time to invest in our future here. Our workholding products have long been known for their exceptional precision. Now our U.S. customers will enjoy almost instantaneous access to them."
