In spring 2006 by reason of a huge order from the USA, we came to the decision to build up a subsidiary company in the USA. Customer proximity as well as first-class support by the city of Auburn were the reasons to choose the location in Alabama. Besides the first order we see great chances for a stable and interesting engagement in the USA due to the strongly growing automobile industry. More customers have shown their interest in placing an order, which helped with the decision to realize it.
