Manufacturing company groninger is investing over $14 million in new headquarters at its U.S. location in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In addition to the creation of 60 new jobs, the new building will serve as the company’s new U.S. headquarters.

“Our expansion in Charlotte is a clear commitment to our customers in North America. We are not only investing in a new, improved manufacturing and production infrastructure, but also in the future viability of our company in this strategically important region,” emphasizes Jens Groninger, CEO of the groninger Group. “The North American market, and the U.S. in particular, has always been among our most important sales markets. They are a key growth driver for groninger.”

Since 1997, the family business has maintained its presence in the U.S.—initially in Basking Ridge near New Jersey, and later in Charlotte, where groninger USA LLC opened its current location in 2012.

“Since our U.S. location opened, groninger Group has made investments in the site and steadily expanded capacities. In the meantime, however, we are almost bursting at the seams,” says Philipp Hauser, CEO of groninger USA LLC. “We have recently invested massively in our production in Charlotte and have grown significantly in terms of employees, from around 60 in 2021 to more than 110 today. This trend will continue. By 2030, we plan to create another 60 jobs.”

“We want to further expand our available production capacities so that we can offer our local customers even faster and better service, and eventually evolve from a pure sales and service organization,” Hauser adds.
