Pindel Global Precision Takes Bold Move Forward
NEW BERLIN, Wis. (May 3, 2018) – Six years ago, when Bill Berrien acquired and took the helm as CEO of what was then A.S. Pindel Corp, he did so with a vision of building on the company’s strong foundation and long history of success. His goal was to create an advanced manufacturing enterprise that would emerge as one of the manufacturing industry’s leading companies. With the recent acquisition of a 60,000-square-foot production and office facility, on 3.7 acres of land, that vision for Pindel Global Precision takes another bold move forward.
Located at 2445 S. Calhoun Road in New Berlin, Wis. – just two short blocks from Pindel’s two existing manufacturing plants – the facility was acquired out of the bankruptcy of Southwest Finishing LLC, and it opens significant opportunities for Pindel and its customers. “This facility enables us to expand our capabilities, grow our highly skilled manufacturing team, evolve our relationships with leading educational institutions, and cement a leadership position as the premier contract manufacturer of precision machined components for sophisticated, globally minded customers,” said Berrien.
Following an extensive remodeling and construction project, the new location will serve as the company’s global headquarters. It will be equipped with the newest innovations in multi-axis CNC equipment, highly automated FANUC robotics work cells for high production machining, as well as machine monitoring solutions that provide data and insights to inform production and business decision-making.
“What is perhaps most exciting,” said Berrien, “is our ability to create a Learning and Innovation Center to support the acceleration of Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence applications. At the same time, we can provide training for employees across all facilities as well as local area students in New Berlin’s high schools, and through our long-standing partnership with GPS Education Partners. As the first corporate sponsor of an industry collaboration room inside MSOE’s Dwight and Dian Diercks Computational Science Hall, we’ll also be able to advance our collaboration with MSOE – from their classroom to our Learning and Innovation Center.”
According to Dave Werner, president and CEO of Park Bank, the company’s long-time financial partner, Berrien is no stranger to bold, strategic moves. “Bill began his career as a Navy SEAL Officer and later at GE Healthcare where he developed fundamental principles that have guided him throughout his business career. He knows the importance of vision followed by thoughtful, strategic action, and that teamwork and trust are critical to success. Together with Paul Jelacic, Park Bank’s VP of Commercial Banking, they charted a path forward from the first look at this facility to this transaction and the follow-on renovation.”
The facility is targeted to be operational in late fall 2018.
