Haimer USA Opens New North American Headquarters

Haimer USA (Villa Park, IL), a subsidiary of the German high-precision tool holder manufacturer Haimer GmbH (Hollenbach, Germany), recently cut the ribbon on their new 25,000 sq ft North American headquarters. Located in the Chicago suburb of Villa Park, the new headquarters is designed and built to help facilitate the company’s growth in the North American marketplace.

It features state-of-the-art training facilities able to accommodate up to 50 people. The expanded showroom includes a CNC machining center for demo cuts, shrink fit and balancing machines under power, and a complete range of tool holding solutions that are on display. Both the training facilities and showroom are wired with HD cameras for live and web-based presentations.

From their new facility, the company will also be providing balance inspection, precision balancing, and data chipping services for their tool holders or those from any other manufacturer. Future service offerings will include end mill regrinding as well as Safe-Lock groove modifications.

On hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony were Franz Haimer (Chief Executive Officer of Haimer GmbH), Claudia Haimer (Chief Marketing Officer of Haimer GmbH), Andreas Haimer (President of Haimer GmbH), Franz Josef Haimer (Manager Special Projects, Haimer GmbH), Kathrin Haimer (Head of Human Resources, Haimer GmbH), Brendt Holden (President of Haimer USA), and Mark Tomkins (President and Chief Executive Officer of the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest, Inc.), as well as representatives from major machine tool builders, cutting tool companies, Haimer distributors, and other manufacturers.

“Our new North American headquarters gives us the opportunity to better showcase our technology and service our customers,” said Holden. “As the North American metal cutting industry gravitates towards higher precision to reduce their machining times and stay globally competitive, we are now better positioned than ever to assist our customers and partners in that effort.”
