Motion control feedback solutions provider HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION, headquartered in Traunreut, Germany, has announced the opening of its newly completed West Coast headquarters. This includes the expansion of its executive, sales and technical support offices, as well as demo facilities in San Jose, California.

“We completed this project as part of our commitment to continued growth objectives and support of our machine tool, position encoder and stage systems business partnerships with San Francisco Bay Area and western territory customers,” said David Doyle, HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION president and CEO.

The new development includes the consolidation of the company’s Fremont, California technical support operation into its expanded San Jose business center offices. “Proximity to the innovation centers and high-growth markets is important to our long-term future, including within semiconductor capital equipment, life science, automotive, robotics and general automation segments,” said Doyle.

Other recent western territory additions include the opening of offices in the Seattle, Denver and Houston areas. HEIDENHAIN’s John Thormodsgard is newly appointed as Western Sales director.

“Most importantly, we value the industry relationships that we continue to develop and we welcome our customers to visit us at any of our US office locations, as well as our headquarters in Traunreut, Germany, as soon as conditions allow,” added Doyle.

The company’s western US office is located at 226 Airport Parkway, San Jose, California  95110.
