Chiron America Expansion

The completion of a 20,000ft² expansion to Chiron America’s manufacturing facility in Charlotte, NC, is now complete. The ribbon cutting ceremony took place on February 9, 2012, with Cris Taylor – CEO, Dirk Zikeli – COO, and Ross Clark – VP sales at Chiron America Inc.; Dr. Dirk Prust – managing director, Dr. Achim Degner – managing director, and Gerhard Boehm – sales director at Chiron Werke GmbH – Germany; as well as Chiron America’s employees and Chiron’s dealer sales network in attendance.

The expansion was required due to the increased demand for Chiron machining center equipment by their customers. “This expansion will improve the efficiency of our business and provide the needed floor space required for our expanding markets in North America,” Taylor says.

Chiron has increased their workforce by 20% during the past year.

“We are proud of the fact that we are adding jobs in our Charlotte facility and increasing U.S. content in our products. This is crucial to our strategy for the North American market,” Taylor states.
