As one of Schubert’s most important export and growth markets, North America is developing at a rate that is well above average. So, to be able to serve customers even better in the future, the company has successfully acquired land to expand its North American headquarters in Charlotte, NC.
The expansion of its North American headquarters prepares Schubert to meet the demand of its growing customer base in North America. The new headquarters building, which is approximately 45000 sq. ft., will include sales, engineering, service, final assembly, and a customer training centre. With a total size of 7.36 acres, the entire site offers plenty of room for future growth.
Said Hartmut Siegel, Chief Executive Officer, Schubert North America: “An important criterion when selecting the land, was the possibility to add even further buildings in the future.”
With an investment of almost tens of millions in its new North American headquarters, Schubert underlines its commitment to the region and emphasises the strategic significance of the North American market over the long term.
Continued Siegel: “We are expanding our location for our North American customers. In addition to our new offices, an assembly hall will be built at the new location. Final assembly and commissioning for TLM packaging machines will be performed. There will be a workshop for service activities, as well. In the past, customers often had to fly to Schubert’s global headquarters in Crailsheim, Germany, for final acceptance of new machine projects. In the future, acceptance of selected machines will take place directly on site in Charlotte, NC.”
The new building will be designed according to Schubert’s new corporate sustainability initiative Mission Blue and will become a climate-neutral building equipped with the latest technology to generate green electricity in the future.
Concluded Siegel: “The market has developed disproportionately well. Fortunately, the pandemic has not slowed down the ongoing development of our product innovations. Demand from our North American customers for state-of-the-art packaging technology with great flexibility and a high degree of automation has been high.”
The pandemic also highlighted the importance of autonomy and direct support for Schubert’s customers in North America. For more visit schubert.group
