TGW opening two new offices in Seattle and Atlanta

TGW Logistics Group further expands its footprint in the U.S., enabling its American business unit "TGW Systems, Inc." to better serve customers in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast.

With orders for TGW Logistics Group’s technological innovations, advanced goods-to-person solutions and extended service portfolio having significantly increased in the past 12 months, the company has announced the opening of two new offices in the U.S. to deliver even higher levels of customer service. Strategically located in Seattle and Atlanta, these new locations join the company’s existing operations in Grand Rapids and Spring Lake, Michigan, and a 170,000 square foot manufacturing expansion—also in Spring Lake, Michigan.

“Our expanded footprint in the U.S. will allow us to even better serve our customers nationwide,” says Mario Herndl, CEO of TGW Systems. “Here in the U.S., our order increase over the previous year vastly exceeded our expectations, and we have increased our workforce by more than 35%. These two additional locations enable our team to be even closer to customers on the west and east coasts.”

The rapid growth of TGW’s American subsidiary is no coincidence, he continues, noting that the company’s innovative handling solutions are designed to meet any customer needs in the core markets of apparel, grocery and general merchandise. To that end, both locations will support sales, project quoting and specialized engineering activities, as well as house controls specialists, remote service teams and technical personnel.

“As a self-contained solutions provider and system integrator, we have focused on bringing innovative technologies tailored to the American market. Everything our customers require for their material handling needs is provided by TGW, including all components,” Herndl adds. “Adding these two locations is just another step in our lengthy list of planned investments in our U.S. operations throughout this year.

“We are excited to establish these new locations for our expanded teams,” adds Alex Ruch, Director of Human Resources for TGW Systems. “Both cities not only give us a footprint closer to current and prospective customers, but also represent two major metropolitan areas with strong engineering and logistics communities. Further, these two regions are home to top-tier universities that are continuously graduating world-class talent familiar with cutting-edge technologies.”

Having access to that base of potential new hires will help TGW accomplish its hiring goals of adding another 100 employees over the next 12 months, Ruch notes. Click here to view our current vacancies!
