Coperion Relocates U.S. Headquarters
Compounding equipment machine builder completes move from Ramsey, N.J. to three other facilities.
Coperion has moved its long-time North American headquarters from Ramsey, N.J. to other facilities in Pitman, N.J,, Wytheville, Va. and Houston.
The facilities in Pitman and Wytheville have gone through alterations and have increased space to accommodate the additional functions transferred to each location. The Wytheville plant has added an additional 52,000 ft2 in order to accommodate the new manufacturing, assembly functions, and warehouse department. The Pitman location (photo) has undergone an extensive reconstruction and now houses Coperion’s U.S. extrusion test lab, process technology, engineering, sales, customer service, and support functions in addition to the already existing Coperion K-Tron feeding technology business.
“The successful relocations to both Pitman and Wytheville were big steps forward in our strategy to fully integrate our Coperion and Coperion K-Tron Business Units,” said Kimberly K. Ryan, President of Coperion. “The realignment of our assets to take advantage of available space and to bring the management and operation teams closer together is important to the entire group.
"This realignment will further improve our efficiencies and provide even stronger support for our customers in the Americas,” continued Ryan. “This move will strengthen our company and position us for further growth.”
Coperion said its customers should expect order processing, equipment inspections and demonstrations, and extruder testing to be scheduled through the facility in Pitman. The facilities in Wytheville are used for manufacturing purposes including machine and gearbox refurbishing, assembly, factory acceptance tests and shipping, while Coperion’s Houston office continues to support sales, service and engineering.
