ARBURG has recently started its headquarters expansion in the US with a groundbreaking ceremony. The new extension increases the size of the existing company building in Rocky Hill by 2,100 m² to provide almost 80% more space.

The new production floor will create more space for building and acceptance testing complete turnkey systems, adapting stock machines to customer specifications and a significantly larger spare parts warehouse.

“In recent years, our business in the US has developed significantly better and faster than expected. Thanks to this dynamic development, we now face the fortunate problem that our US headquarters, which was newly built as recently as 2015, is already reaching its capacity limits," explained Friedrich Kanz, Managing Director of ARBURG, Inc.

The new building will be equipped with state-of-the-art logistics, including a gantry crane with a lifting capacity of 40 tonnes. As a result, after-sales service of the ARBURG subsidiary will also be improved.

Moreover, further rooms will be available for customer training and technical seminars, as well as 25 additional office workplaces for employees, mainly from the Application Technology, Turnkey and Service departments.

The existing building already includes a showroom for up to seven ALLROUNDER injection moulding machines and a laboratory with two freeformers for additive manufacturing.
