AMETEK Germany Inaugurates New Facility in Weiterstadt

AMETEK Germany, part of AMETEK Inc., is pleased to announce the inauguration of a new, state-of-the-art Customer Center of Excellence in Weiterstadt, Germany, that will provide enhanced support to its customers through in-person demonstrations of AMETEK innovations and solutions across major industries.

The new facility features the latest products from numerous AMETEK businesses, including SPECTRO, Taylor Hobson, Solartron Metrology, Creaform, MOCON, Reichert, Atlas, Brookfield, Zygo, Dunkermotoren, EGS, Motec, Powervar, SurgeX, Precitech and TMC. Service capabilities for AMETEK products will also be provided.

AMETEK Germany started its operations in 1973 in Meerbusch near Düsseldorf and continues to grow. In 2015, it opened the location in Weiterstadt, and since then, increasing customer demand has required an expansion to a larger facility. This new space will serve as an AMETEK hub of innovation for numerous industries including aerospace & defense, automotive, food, pharma and packaging, high precision metrology, material analyses, oil and gas, and power.

During a private grand opening event held on January 12, AMETEK employees were on-hand to provide customers, distributors, and partners with dynamic and interactive technology demonstrations. Several members of AMETEK’s executive leadership team were also present to welcome guests, including Mikael Näsström, Vice President, Commercial Excellence; Dr. Chris Maetzig, Vice President and General Manager of AMETEK’s Ultra Precision Technology Division; Stefano Milani, Division Vice President, AMETEK Europe & Brazil; Michael Privik, Division Vice President and Business Unit Manager, SPECTRO; as well as other business leaders from across the company.

“We are thrilled to take this next step in expansion to solve our valued customers’ complex challenges using AMETEK’s differentiated technology solutions,” said Wiebke Rumpf, AMETEK Germany Country Manager. “This Customer Center of Excellence represents a significant milestone for AMETEK’s operations in Germany, and its location near Frankfurt is perfect for customer events, distributor meetings, customer demos and much more.”

“The opening of the AMETEK Customer Center of Excellence, with its access to many high-end technologies, is important for business in this region,” remarked Ralf Möller, Mayor of Weiterstadt.
