The groundbreaking ceremony of the new warehouse and office complex, held on October 25th, marks the beginning of a new phase for Stadler’s operations in North America. The expansion is a strategic move to support the company’s growing customer base across the continent by providing enhanced space for operations, inventory, and employee growth.
Willi Stadler, CEO of the Stadler Group, stated: “The American market is of immense importance to us, and we see great potential beyond what our current facility will be able to support. We have strategically decided to build a new office and warehouse complex in the United States to support this continued growth. This investment underscores our long-term commitment to this market and ensures excellent support through an expanded inventory of essential spare and wear parts critical to meeting our customers' needs. We are committed to creating a workspace where our US team feels valued and inspired, fostering an environment where they can perform at their best with enthusiasm and motivation.”
Strategic Expansion to Meet Rapid Growth
The decision to expand stems from Stadler’s remarkable growth in North America over the past four years, with revenue increasing by 50% year over year. The new facility, spanning more than 27,000 square feet, will significantly boost the company's capacity to serve existing and new customers. Set to include warehouse and office spaces designed with sustainability and future scalability in mind; the complex will also support Stadler's expanding workforce and operations.
The new complex is strategically located at Centre Park Court in Winston-Salem, a vibrant industrial hub home to several prominent U.S. companies. The six-acre site, surrounded by natural buffers and landscaped areas, was selected for its sustainability features and proximity to major transportation routes, including two major U.S. interstate highways. The facility is just 15 minutes from the nearest airport, ensuring efficient logistics and accessibility for employees and customers.
Speaking about the importance of the new facility, Mat Everhart, CEO of Stadler America LLC, stated, “The new US Headquarters for Stadler America will reflect the fact that service to our customers and each other as colleagues are truly our top priorities. While fast parts service is important, the true key to real service is a highly skilled, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging team member to assist. Our new facility will set the backdrop and create a welcoming space for potential new talent seeking an opportunity with Stadler. This is essential as we aim to continue to attract the best and brightest here.”
Stadler America, founded in 2016 with just four employees in Colfax, North Carolina, has grown significantly. Now employing 13 team members, the company supports 4 out of the top 10 recycling companies in the U.S., along with many other customers. Through its dedication to engineering expertise and complete project management solutions, Stadler has earned a reputation as a trusted partner for top-tier recyclers. The new facility will provide the capacity to expand the workforce further and support Stadler’s mission to deliver innovative recycling solutions across North America.
Enhanced Employee and Customer Experience
Stadler’s new facility is designed to accommodate future growth while significantly enhancing the working environment for employees. With an emphasis on creativity and employee satisfaction, the office space aligns with the company’s mission to create a workplace that fosters innovation and engagement. Significant time and effort were also devoted to ensuring that sustainability was engineered into every aspect of the design, from the look and function of the building to its overall environmental impact.
For customers, the expanded warehouse will allow Stadler to stock a broader range of spare and wear parts, enhancing after-sales support with faster response times and reduced downtime. One of Stadler's core strengths is its ability to keep its customers’ systems running smoothly. This new facility will help meet that commitment even more effectively.
“Our top priority is our commitment to the American market. We want our customers to know that we have all the necessary parts available locally and that they can rely on Stadler in the long term. We are proud of our highly motivated, skilled, and well-trained team in the USA,” said Willi Stadler.
