United Grinding North America opens new HQs

Miamisburg, Ohio – Just more than one year after breaking ground, United Grinding North America Inc. has officially opened the doors of its new 110,000ft² headquarters in preparation for a ribbon cutting event on November 3, 2017. The building brings together the company’s cylindrical, surface, and profile grinding business units as well as its automation and rebuilding departments from its existing offices in Miamisburg, Ohio, together with the staff from its tool and cutter grinding machines and measurement systems sectors who were formerly located in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

With this consolidation of its diverse product lines and customer service initiatives, United Grinding has sought further process optimization and stabilization in the name of providing exemplary service for its customers across the hemisphere. “We’re sending a strong, powerful message to the market and our customers that United Grinding is investing in the future,” said the company’s President and CEO, Steve Jacobson. “This new facility, with all its productivity improvements and attention to detail, is the best way to build upon the partnerships we’ve developed and bring innovative services to our customers in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.”

The building’s design is one that will further enhance efficiency, strengthen customer service, and boost operational agility.
