Rattunde Corporation, global manufacturer of tube and bar processing machinery, has announced a substantial increase in its plant and office capacity at the company's global headquarters in Ludwigslust, Germany, near Hamburg. Company President Ulrich Rattunde made the announcement.
At a recent company gathering Rattunde announced that he had signed an agreement to purchase the entire facility of a neighboring company across the street from the existing Rattunde facility in Ludwigslust, namely Alstom, the multi-national rail transport and power generation firm.
"The new 175,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility will permit substantial expansion in the production of machines for this builder of tube and bar processing equipment," said a company spokesperson. Rattunde markets globally to a variety of industrial OEMs and contract manufacturers. In tandem with its U.S. facility in the Grand Rapids, MI, area, the company is now better positioned to serve its established install bases in Europe and North America, with the added capacity enabling continued growth and expansion into the emerging markets of Asia and South America.
In tandem with the larger manufacturing facility, Rattunde will now also enjoy 18% more office space for its design, engineering, sales and service personnel in Germany.
Rattunde Corporation President (North America) Rick Stadler said, "Everyone in the company is excited by the potential of the new headquarters. We will not only have greater capacity to respond to current customer delivery needs, but this development will enhance our competitive status around the world."
Stadler also mentioned the recently opened Rattunde facility in Mexico, where the company has substantial and expanding business engagements.
