TRUMPF with new smart factory

Global technology company TRUMPF officially opened a new Smart Factory that expands local production of machine tools and demonstrates advanced manufacturing capabilities in Farmington, Connecticut, the headquarters of its billion-dollar North American subsidiary, TRUMPF Inc.  After a May 20 ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Smart Factory is operational and uses high-tech TRUMPF fabricating equipment to produce sheet metal parts for its U.S.-manufactured TRUMPF machinery. Manufacturers can visit the facility to investigate applications of the automation, connectivity and data-driven production.

“The new facility is a clear reflection of our commitment to our U.S. customers and our deep appreciation for their business,” said Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller, CEO and owner of the TRUMPF Group. “I am pleased to see this $40 million investment in Connecticut come to fruition, but this is just the beginning. TRUMPF will continue to stand for such dedication to innovation, technology and growth in North America in the years to come.”

“The future demands smarter, more connected and more competitive manufacturing. Now is the time for manufacturers to elevate their production methods and further develop their workforce. That’s what TRUMPF is doing here in Connecticut and what we are assisting companies throughout North America to do as well by providing enabling manufacturing technology and services,” said TRUMPF Inc. President & CEO Lutz Labisch. “The Smart Factory reaffirms our partnerships with manufacturers to meet their growing needs to streamline and accelerate production while enhancing process adaptability and product quality.”
