It has been announced that AMADA MIYACHI EUROPEwill be centralising its UK offices, moving from its current Derby location to Mildenhall, in Suffolk, England, effective from 31st March 2017. The new and larger facility is located at the existing home of Macgregor Welding Systems, which AMADA MIYACHI EUROPE acquired in 2016.
The consolidated facility includes sales, engineering, development, application support services, production, and shipping. UK operations will continue to provide design, development and sales of resistance welding and micro arc welding products, as well as custom manufacturing systems incorporating welding products.
Consolidating UK operations in a larger facility will increase efficiency and improve customer support through the integration of MacGregor and AMADA MIYACHI EUROPE sales channels. Customers in the Northern Europe region will benefit from a larger sales team, as well as increased engineering and application support resources, including a larger application laboratory.
In addition to strengthening UK operations, bringing the teams together will promote cross selling of the MacGregor brand with the four strong existing AMADA MIYACHI EUROPE brands – MIYACHI, MIYACHI UNITEK, MIYACHI PECO and MIYACHI EAPRO.
“Combining the professional AMADA MIYACHI EUROPE sales team with the international scope and superior engineering capabilities of MacGregor results in synergies that will increase efficiency and enable us to provide even better customer service,” said Jörg Kundrat, Chief Operations Officer for AMADA MIYACHI EUROPE.
