B&R opens office in Los Angeles

07/12/2007

B&R USA is contributing to the worldwide success of Bernecker & Rainer with ongoing expansion in the American market. The new sales office in Los Angeles is a further milestone on the road to continuous growth and market share. B&R's new presence in the southwest will allow it to provide intensive support to its customers in important regional industries such as packaging, semiconductor technology and tool machines. "I'm looking forward to expanding B&R's sales in southern California," said Paxton Shantz, the new Regional Manager of the B&R office in Los Angeles.

B&R USA, with its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, has been working closely with American customers since 1987. Since then, sales and support have continued to expand. In addition to sales offices, they have established a one-of-a-kind sales network. These "Automation Partners" are independent companies with an exclusive sales region for B&R products. They provide first-class automation support and services for their customers on-site. So far, B&R USA has developed relationships with a total of nine partners. The 24 offices cover 27 states and provide excellent close contact with the customers. Nevertheless, further expansion projects are already in preparation. Additional locations should be finished by the end of 2008, which will provide local representation in the majority of US states.
