The groundbreaking ceremony of the new warehouse and office complex at Centre Park Court in Winston-Salem, held on October 25th, marks the beginning of a new phase for STADLER’s operations in North America. The expansion is a strategic move to support the company’s growing customer base across the continent by providing enhanced space for operations, inventory, and employee growth.
Willi Stadler, CEO of the STADLER Group, stated: “The American market is of immense importance to us, and we see great potential beyond what our current facility will be able to support. We have strategically decided to build a new office and warehouse complex in the United States to support this continued growth. This investment underscores our long-term commitment to this market and ensures excellent support through an expanded inventory of essential spare and wear parts critical to meeting our customers' needs. We are committed to creating a workspace where our US team feels valued and inspired, fostering an environment where they can perform at their best with enthusiasm and motivation.”
Strategic Expansion to Meet Rapid Growth
STADLER’s decision to expand stems from its remarkable growth in North America over the past four years, with revenue increasing by 50% year over year. The new 27,000-square-foot facility, strategically located near major transportation routes and the airport, will ensure efficient logistics and accessibility for employees and customers. Designed for sustainability and future scalability in mind, it will include warehouse and office spaces to support STADLER's expanding workforce and operations, boosting the company's capacity to serve existing and new customers with innovative recycling solutions.
Speaking about the importance of the new facility, Mat Everhart, CEO of STADLER America LLC, stated, “The new US Headquarters for STADLER America will reflect the fact that service to our customers and each other as colleagues are truly our top priorities. While fast parts service is important, the true key to real service is a highly skilled, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging team member to assist. Our new facility will create a welcoming space for potential new talent. This is essential as we aim to continue to attract the best and brightest here.”
STADLER America, founded in 2016 with just four employees in Colfax, North Carolina, has grown significantly. Now employing 13 team members, the company counts 4 out of the top 10 US recycling companies among its customers. Through its dedication to engineering expertise and complete project management solutions, STADLER has earned a reputation as a trusted partner for top-tier recyclers.
Enhanced Employee and Customer Experience
STADLER’s new facility is designed to accommodate future growth while significantly enhancing the working environment with a focus on creativity and employee satisfaction while integrating sustainability into every aspect of the design. The expanded warehouse will allow for a broader range of spare and wear parts to be stocked, enhancing after-sales support with faster response times. This new facility will support STADLER’s commitment to keep its customers’ systems running smoothly.
Local Expertise in Design and Construction
To bring its ambitious vision to life, STADLER has chosen to work with local contractors who share their commitment to quality and innovation. Fourth Elm Construction, one of the 50 fastest-growing companies in North Carolina, specializes in the manufacturing and industrial sectors and is the projects’ building and design contractor. Workplace Architecture + Design, which specializes in advanced, research-based, sustainable planning, will handle the architectural and interior design. McAdams, a full-service civil engineering, land planning, and landscape architecture firm, is responsible for the project’s civil and permit engineering. Through this collaboration, STADLER is creating a new US headquarters that reflects its commitment to sustainable growth, community partnership, and operational excellence.
