Getzner opens US office

Opening a subsidiary in the USA marks another milestone in the company's strategy for internationalisation. Its head office in Buers remains the company's centre of excellence in vibration isolation. Getzner is budgeting for turnover of 1.5 million dollars in year one and an increase in turnover of 50 percent a year for the first few years.

As one of the leading specialists in the field of vibration protection, Getzner is also a well-known solutions provider in the USA: "We have been providing the US market with solutions to isolate buildings and railways from noise and vibrations for more than 20 years. Our closed cellular structure materials are much in demand from industry as well. Continuing demand was the motivation behind establishing our own office. It will enable us to further improve our level of service and respond even more quickly," explains Jürgen Rainalter, Chief Executive Officer of Getzner Werkstoffe. The reference projects include the 130 metre high skyscraper The Rushmore, which is built over a rail tunnel close to Times Square in New York. The Touraine, the fifteen-floor apartment complex on the historic Upper East Side in New York City, also provides the highest levels of comfort, despite its close proximity to subway lines. The building is full-surface bedded on Sylodyn® material from Getzner.
