Walter USA, a metalworking company that offers a wide range of precision tools for milling, turning, drilling and threading applications, has relocated its Americas Technology Center along with the regional business operations from Waukesha, Wisconsin, to Greer, South Carolina, to move closer to a growing customer base. Regional business operations relocated to the Greer facility as of Sept. 1, 2022. Walter USA’s news address is 1510 S Batesville Rd, Greer, SC 29650.
According to Walter, the new technology center will showcase digitally networked metal cutting technology to provide customers with the latest advances in both testing and training opportunities. In-person and virtual training will be a core mission of the new facility, as well as the opportunity for customers to witness application testing on their components remotely, saving on time and travel costs.
“Combining our technology center with our round tool production not only improves efficiency but enhances the customer experience when they visit the technology center,” Richard Garrick, president of Walter Americas, says. “Upon visiting the new headquarters in Greer, our customers will be able to experience the latest from Walter not only in products, but also in manufacturing expertise.”
The technology center and the addition of manufacturing capacity underscore Walter’s commitment to the U.S. market and supports the long-term growth strategy for the company in North America. Walter says having the dedicated production facility in the U.S. will enable the company to provide better responsiveness to customer demand, as well as improve supply chain security. The new technology center is expected to be complete in late 2023.
