To cope with the increasing business volume in the Americas and to better serve the American customers in the field of surface finishing and preparation, Walther Trowal is expanding its sales branch in Grand Rapids. Recently the Walther Trowal LLC has officially opened its âNorth American Tech & Training Centerâ?.
The company, initially established as a sales office, has become an operation with its own test center, after-sales service activities and a sizable warehouse for compounds, media and spare parts. Effective immediately two recently hired application and sales engineers, stationed in Grand Rapids, are now supporting the already existing nine distributors in the US and Mexico, including the companyâs sales office in Querétaro, Mexico.
Moreover, the newly established process development lab, equipped with a range of different finishing machines, now offers American customers the possibility to test the Walther Trowal equipment with their work pieces directly in the United States and to optimize their finishing processes.
The new Tech & Training Centre is also equipped with a lab for coating technology. This allows customers to test various coating methods and develop the right process for their coating requirements.
