Walter USA LLC, a leading cutting tool manufacturer, has announced plans to expand its current facility located here. Apart from strategic management and administration offices, the primary thrust of the expansion will be to create a new Walter North American Technology Center.
The Center will be a state-of-the-art facility with demonstration and application trial areas devoted to involving real-world applications and Walter cutting tool technology. It will be designed to help educate customers, channel partners and employees on Walter product, while providing the cornerstone to further enhance Walter Multiply, Walter’s new competence brand that is a multi-level service that transfers technical knowledge across a range of sectors in order to increase productivity.
According to Muff Tanriverdi, president and CEO of Walter USA, “This expansion not only represents the next step in our ongoing resolve to be the leader in cutting tool support in North America, it is a direct result of the success that we have had over the last several years.”
The 40,000ft² facility, located just west of the Milwaukee metropolitan area, is slated to officially open in the fall of 2012. It is anticipated that the expansion will lead to new jobs being created in the area.
“Our commitment to customer service and support has always been high and this expansion only reinforces that mission, but it’s our people that guide our way to our ongoing success,” adds Tanriverdi.
