Global automation solutions business forms Güdel Americas, builds regional support for customers

Güdel (Langenthal, Switzerland) a global manufacturer of linear motion modules, robot track motion units and gantry robots and components, announce the formation of Güdel Americas (Ann Arbor, Mich., U.S.), which brings together Güdel’s existing entities in the U.S. and Mexico to better serve customers. Güdel believes 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 also 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.

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. It is known for manufacturing a full line of high-performance linear motion components, the building blocks for reliable linear motion modules, gantries and press automation systems. 

According to Güdel, it 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 expects to improve performance and flexibility to meet all requirements in a demanding business environment.
