Stadler Anlagenbau GmbH has officially opened its new United States headquarters and warehouse complex in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The 27,000-square-foot site is a central element of the company’s long-term growth strategy in North America and is intended to improve service speed, spare parts availability and logistics for customers across the region. The opening concluded a 17‑month construction project delivered with local contractors and aligned with Stadler’s sustainability principles. The facility combines office and warehouse spaces, includes dedicated areas for training and teamwork, and provides modern workstations with generous natural light and room for expansion. Its location near major transportation routes and the local airport is designed to support efficient deliveries and on-site service. The grand opening brought together company leadership, customers, partners, local officials and media for guided tours, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and an evening event.
Ramp-up of service capacity and responsiveness
With the commissioning of the new site, Stadler America has nearly doubled its staff and inventory to enable faster service and improved responsiveness. Mat Everhart, CEO of Stadler America LLC, said: "As many, if not most, of our customers operate their sorting and recycling lines more than 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, they rely on us for maintenance assistance, so our service and quick responses are crucial to earning our customers’ confidence." He added: "The new facility is world-class, state-of-the-art; however, the true success of a company and its value to its customers is shown in our employees’ deep commitment to service and timely responses." During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Nick Reid, President of the Chamber of Commerce for Winston-Salem, stated: "Stadler’s decision to establish its North American headquarters here in Winston-Salem is a strong vote of confidence in our city, our workforce, and our future. Investments like this create high-quality jobs and reinforce our city’s position as a hub for sustainable industry and innovation."
Facility design and functions
The headquarters complex was designed in accordance with Stadler’s corporate identity and reflects a focus on sustainability, efficient workflows and collaboration. The combined office and warehouse setup supports shorter lead times for parts and equipment and enhances on-site support. Its strategic location is intended to improve customer service throughout North America. Willi Stadler, Co-CEO of the Stadler Group, emphasized the significance of the expansion: "The new site marks a key milestone in our growth strategy and underscores our commitment to staying close to customers worldwide, particularly in the North American market, which offers enormous potential. With expanded office and warehouse space, we can respond to customer needs more efficiently, driving innovation and performance. A local presence enables closer collaboration, allowing us to develop tailored solutions, from new plant designs to system retrofits. In addition, our extensive stock of spare and wear parts ensures exceptional speed in any service situation, providing immediate support with minimal downtime."
Building for the future
The site adds expanded warehouse capacity, modern offices and enhanced training facilities, creating a platform for further growth in the region. The company plans to increase local service and engineering teams to provide more direct support during project development and in day-to-day operations. Julia Stadler, Co-CEO of the Stadler Group, said: "Our goal is to intentionally strengthen and sustainably grow our market presence in North America. The new branch office and warehouse location is just the beginning, we plan to gradually expand our local service and engineering teams, bringing us even closer to our customers both when developing technical concepts and when addressing operational challenges. In this way, we aim to consolidate further Stadler’s position as a dependable partner and innovation driver in the North American recycling industry." Willi Stadler noted the wider context: "The new location is symbolic of many things that define Stadler, innovation, close customer relationships, and the courage to explore new paths as a company." Concluding the event, Mat Everhart added: "We want to attract top talent, and the new facility will help us do that with an environment that clearly signals that this is a great place to work."
