For small and medium-sized European machine builders, the ever-changing regulations and formalities in the US and Canadian market make it difficult to comply with all current control standards and needed certifications. A reliable and flexible domestic partner for those aspects allows it to focus on the marketing and successful introduction of the product within North America. At the same time, the US-built and UL508A certified control panel can be an important selling point.

More than 40 years of experience in the field of machine and line controls in the US

Truetzschler, founded in 1888, is headquartered in Germany. In 1969, American Truetzschler (ATR) was the first subsidiary to be opened. Since the early 80’s, American Truetzschler has designed, engineered and built electrical control panels for machines and lines, used in the fiber preparation business. Based on the knowledge gained over the years, ATR expanded its controls services to various other sectors, including optical glass fiber and cooling & refrigerating applications. Later the panel shop became UL508A listed (certified) in order to document the quality and satisfy increasing demand. American Truetzschler is extremely proud of their achievements, their long-time staff members, as well as their long-standing relationships with customers.

The company measures its success based on returning customers.

Bilingual communication and cultural competence

Misunderstandings and language barriers are the reason for more than 90% of all problems at a later stage. The translation and explanation of regulations, the clarification of details in regards to a specific project, and the simple understanding of the expectations of a North American customer are examples where American Truetzschler’s bilingualism and cultural background will help to save valuable time, and money, on both sides of the Atlantic!
