As it celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2019, Ludvig Svensson has announced its Americas subsidiary is undertaking a major expansion at its Charlotte, North Carolina, location.
The expansion, which is expected to be complete by the end of the summer 2019, will add an additional 30,000 square feet of warehouse space to Svensson’s existing 28,000 square feet of warehouse and office space. When completed, the expansion will nearly double the footprint of Ludvig Svensson, increasing the capabilities for the rapidly growing U.S., Canadian and Latin American markets, according to the release.
“The continued growth of our existing customer base, coupled with new opportunities and Svensson’s long term approach are all drivers in the extension of our current facility space,” said Mauricio Manotas, president of Svensson Americas. “This investment is one of Svensson’s many commitments to our local customers and will allow us to offer improved productivity, greater flexibility and reduced lead times.”
We know what our customers need and are adding more machinery and stock to accommodate growing demands, enabling us to operate more efficiently and offer best in class service, all while staying true to the quality that’s put into our products since the beginning,” Manotas added.
