In February this year, Steelwrist officially inaugurated its expanded operations in Newington, CT, with investments in machining, assembly and product testing capabilities. These investments enable the company to deliver products that are assembled and tested in the United States, and supports the company\u2019s continued growth in North America.<\/p>\n<p>The AEM Manufacturing Express hit the road on August 31 and will stop at 18 manufacturing facilities across four states during the Northeast leg of the tour, amplifying the stories of the 2.2 million men and women who build, power, and feed America. On September 28 the AEM Manufacturing Express made a stop at the Steelwrist headquarters in Newington.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees were given a tour of the facility, which, in addition to serving as Steelwrist\u2019s North American headquarters, brings warehousing, technical support, training, machining, assembly and product testing together under one roof. The expanded operation reflects both the work of the local Steelwrist team and the company\u2019s long-term commitment to growing its presence in the U.S. market. Steelwrist\u2019s culture, built around clear values, direct communication and individual accountability, has played an important role in the development of the North American organization.<\/p>\n<p>The Newington stop also highlighted Connecticut\u2019s important role in the equipment manufacturing industry, which supports approximately 14,000 jobs and contributes $3.1 billion annually to the state\u2019s GDP. During the event, AEM invited Steelwrist employees and guests to take the \u201cManufacturing Challenge,\u201d an interactive online game, to learn more about the innovations that power modern equipment manufacturing. Attendees also learned how to become advocates for the industry by joining \u201cI Make America,\u201d AEM\u2019s national grassroots program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe AEM Manufacturing Express celebrates the people and communities at the heart of the equipment manufacturing industry,\u201d says Megan Tanel, AEM\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cThe continued popularity of this tour among our members is a testament to its impact. Across the country, millions of Americans play a role in making the equipment that builds our infrastructure and feeds our nation. This tour gives us an opportunity to recognize their hard work, share their stories, and build pride in American-made equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWelcoming the AEM Manufacturing Express to Newington was a great opportunity to recognize the team behind our growth in North America. In recent years, we have continued to invest in our people and our local capabilities, and today machining, assembly and product testing are all part of our operations here in Connecticut. We are proud to show how Steelwrist technology helps contractors work more safely and efficiently, and to demonstrate our long-term commitment to the U.S. market,\u201d says Peter Gaj, VP Region Americas at Steelwrist Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Additional details about the AEM Manufacturing Express tour can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manufacturingexpress.org\">manufacturingexpress.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><strong><br \/>\nFor more information please contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Stefan Stockhaus\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Karl Serneberg<br \/>\nVD\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 VP OEM Sales &amp; Marketing<br \/>\nSteelwrist AB\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Steelwrist AB<br \/>\nstefan.stockhaus@steelwrist.com\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0karl.serneberg@steelwrist.com<br \/>\nTel +46 709981321\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Tel +46 702619811<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><i><strong><br \/>\nAbout Steelwrist<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/i><i><\/i><i>Steelwrist is a global manufacturer of tiltrotators, quick couplers and work tools for excavators with headquarters in Sweden.
