Güdel, a global manufacturer of linear motion modules, robot track motion units, and gantry robots and components, has announced the formation of Güdel Americas, which brings together Güdel’s existing entities in the United States and Mexico to better serve customers. This alignment, and a new regional strategy for growth, will provide customers in the Americas with improved responsiveness, access to spare parts, and local service and support.
“The integration of our North American entities into Güdel Americas is the beginning of great things as we continue to provide high-quality, innovative solutions in the Americas,” says David Treutle, Managing Director. “This reorganization will bolster production capacity and reduce lead times.”
Güdel Americas will focus on controls software engineering for the future development of the Güdel Global Controls Center of Excellence. The field service team will continue to provide the same high level of service and installation support it currently delivers while adding greater reach and response times throughout the Americas.
Based in Langenthal, Switzerland, Güdel is part of a family-owned business in its third generation. The company was founded in 1954 and has grown from a single precision machine shop to a leading global automation solutions business with operations in more than 20 countries.
Güdel is known for manufacturing a full line of high-performance linear motion components, which are the building blocks for reliable linear motion modules, gantries, and press automation systems. Güdel Americas’ locations in the United States and Mexico will provide agile, world-class engineering and manufacturing locally to serve customers and grow the company’s regional footprint.
Güdel continues to develop new products with the customer in mind and make significant operational changes that enhance the overall customer experience. By adapting to market demands, the company will improve performance and flexibility to meet all requirements in a demanding business environment.
