Bühler North America expands with the acquisition of Design Corrugating Companies, a leading roller mill and other equipment service company based in Taylorville, Illinois, US. With this acquisition Bühler now has seven service centers in the US.
Roller mills
Design Corrugating is a leading provider of roller mill parts and services, including roll reconditioning, new rolls, and other equipment parts and services. The company has facilities in Taylorville (IL), Oakdale (CA), Wichita (KS) and Chattanooga (TN). All Design Corrugating locations will become new service center sites in the Bühler Customer Service network.
Existing operations will continue unchanged. Bühler will continue to provide parts and services for all makes and models of roller mills. Future investments are planned for equipment that will allow new services to be delivered, and the full Bühler supply chain will be leveraged to improve competitiveness in terms of cost and efficiency. Customers will also benefit from Bühler’s deep process expertise as an original equipment manufacturer.
Improve
“We are excited to now be part of the Bühler service network,” states Brett Poland, General Manager of Design Corrugating. He will continue to lead the former Design Corrugating locations within the Bühler company. “The added resources and support that comes with joining the Bühler Team, will help us reach new levels of productivity, expand our service offerings and improve quality to all our existing and future customers,” says Poland.
Strategy
This acquisition represents the continuation of Bühler’s investment strategy in North America. With this, Bühler now operates 14 sales offices, four modern manufacturing facilities, 10 service centers, three application centers and two apprenticeship academies in North America.
