Beckhoff Expands Operations

Beckhoff Automation LLC (Savage, MN) further strengthened their sales and application engineering presence on the West Coast by opening a new San Diego-area sales office in Carlsbad, CA. The 2,000 sq ft office provides sales and application support for customers in Greater San Diego, a thriving hub of technological innovation with high activity in IT, biotech, aerospace and maritime technology. With a large training room, the office will provide numerous educational opportunities for customers to increase their expertise with PC-based controls and EtherCAT industrial Ethernet technology. Located off Interstate 5 halfway between the San Diego and Santa Ana airports and near regional train depots, the office is strategically positioned to maximize access for customers across the region.

“Adding a location in Greater San Diego boosts service coverage for us in a way that complements our existing Silicon Valley Technical Center in San Jose,” said Aurelio Banda, the chief executive officer and president of Beckhoff Automation. “We continue to expand local support for users of PC-based automation and control systems, providing significant benefits to users in numerous industries by extending our reach.”

The Carlsbad office is part of a larger expansion of their facilities across North America, with several new openings planned in or near Los Angeles, Houston, Denver, Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia and Orlando, as well as Mexico City. All of these new offices are expected to open in 2019 and 2020. Along with its U.S. headquarters in Savage, the company has regional offices in Mechanicsburg, PA; Charlotte, NC; Mason, OH (Cincinnati area); Woodridge, IL (Chicago area); Mill Creek, WA (Seattle area); and Plano, TX (Dallas area).
