PFISTERER continues on path of international expansion and opens new production facility in Rochester, NY, USA
Winterbach, Germany – PFISTERER Holding SE, the international leader in quality for electrical connectivity technology for energy infrastructure, is continuing to grow its international market position according to plan and has opened a new production and sales facility in Rochester, NY, USA. The new site represents an important milestone in the company’s expansion strategy and underlines its ongoing commitment to innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
With around 10,000 square meters of floor space, metal and silicon working will be carried out at the plant, as well as the installation and testing of high-voltage cables for the offshore industry. Production will focus on overhead line insulators and screw connectors for cable systems. Furthermore, the new site will include a training center exclusively for PFISTERER customers. All told, PFISTERER invests almost $10 million in the new site in Rochester in order to meet the highest safety, sustainability, and quality standards in the production process.
“With our new site, we are extremely well equipped on the production side to unlock the incredible growth potential in the North American market. We work closely with our customers and are able to react quickly,” says Johannes Linden, Spokesperson of the Executive Board of PFISTERER Holding SE. The ever-increasing global energy demand, as well as the technological transition, combined with infrastructure that is outdated in many places, leads to significant investment and growth potential in the market addressable by PFISTERER. With the expansion of activities in the North American energy market, PFISTERER is carrying forward its internationalization according to its internal strategy. Alongside the core regions of Europe, the Middle East, India, and the Far East, North America is one of the most important global growth markets for PFISTERER in the coming years.
Dr. Konstantin Kurfiss, Member of the Executive Board of PFISTERER Holding SE, adds: “The North American energy market is growing quickly, driven by the necessity to modernize power grids, increase resilience in the face of extreme weather events, and develop capacity for renewable energies. As part of our expansion strategy, we are ready to support this growth efficiently and sustainably with our new production and sales facility.”
In the middle term, production and sales will be developed at the new site, creating additional jobs. In this way, PFISTERER will contribute to the development of the regional economy and strengthen its competitive advantage for the future.
