New 30,000 sq. ft. facility officially opened by Rattunde.
Rattunde, global manufacturer of tube and bar processing machinery, recently celebrated the opening of its new manufacturing facility in Caledonia, MI, (Grand Rapids area) with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony. The ribbon was cut by company President Rick Stadler, who was joined by managing directors Ulrich Rattunde and Martin Proksch from Rattunde & Co. GmbH and the Rattunde Corporation staff.
Rattunde erected its new 30,000 sq. ft. facility on a 14-acre parcel of land, initially to build tooling for its machinery systems, which process bar and tube stock into various end products used by manufacturers in the auto, appliance, off-highway, transportation and other industries throughout North America. Long-range plans call for an expansion of this new facility up to 100,000 or more sq. ft. for machine builds.
According to the company, the new facility also houses a complete spare parts inventory, training areas for both company and customer personnel, machines for demonstration purposes and testing plus a state-of-the-art machine shop, where machine- and application-specific tooling will be manufactured, making the company more responsive to customer requirements.
"Everyone in the company is excited by the potential of this new facility. It will create an energy that will translate into a great working environment for our team, plus we will have more capabilities to better serve our customers, immediately and into the future," said Rick Stadler. He also mentioned future plans for a facility in Mexico, where the company has substantial business engagements.
