CERATIZIT reorganizes its US manufacturing operations in order to be prepared for the next upturn.
Mamer/Luxembourg and Latrobe/Pennsylvania, February 24th 2010
CERATIZIT announced today that it will centralize their US cutting tool manufacturing residing in Latrobe into their production facility in Warren, Michigan.
As part of the global production strategy of CERATIZIT, the move of production into one single location will build a more efficient production structure by consolidating capabilities and competencies. The hard and soft scrap recycling capabilities, the environmentally friendly local water based spray dried powder operations and the logistic center serving the market in the United States and Canada will all remain in Latrobe. Other departments and business sectors in Latrobe are not affected.
The US operations remain at the core for the international expansion plans of the Group. Therefore, the product portfolio will be enhanced by successful products out of the global product portfolio.
The contact person in customer service as well as the external sales force for customers remain unchanged.
