Pöttinger has announced a new US sales location, based at Valparaiso (IN). It follows from the company establishing a subsidiary in the US back in 2008, with this expansion necessitated by increased demand for the company’s products.
The grand opening took place on the 21st of February, with local politicians, dealers and a delegation from the company’s headquarters in Austria.
Plans for the new building started in March of 2023, on a 20-acre plot of land close to the original building. Construction vehicles moved on-site in June, erecting a 19,500-square-foot building that met the company’s standards for sustainability.
“North America is a critical market for Pöttinger with an already considerable turnover of approximately USD 40 million,” said Gregor Dietachmayr, speaker of the Executive Board.
“Our aim is to further expand our service and parts supply while continuing to grow our comprehensive dealer network throughout North America,” said general manager Andrew Brown. “With the new location, we have expanded our capacities and efficiencies to handle current and future challenges. Our team of 28 employees in North America is motivated to use the new location to showcase their expertise in parts, service, training and consulting,”
