At the end of May, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS celebrated the opening of its new factory in McKinney, Texas.

At the end of May, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS celebrated the opening of its new factory in McKinney, Texas. This is the fourth US site for the complete supplier of drive technology. Here, NORD will offer pre-sales, warehouse, assembly and aftermarket services in the Southern region of the USA.

Capacities for assembly, service and customer experience are located on an area of 7,900 square metres at the new McKinney site . Right after the completion of the first construction phase in June 2023, the manufacturing of unpainted gear units started. With the completion of the last construction phase, the site got a painting system with which gear units can now undergo different surface treatments. In the future, up to 200 units will be completed per shift.

Building a close relationship to the McKinney community

Apart from the NORD Managing Directors Ullrich Küchenmeister and Gernot Zarp from the headquarters in Bargteheide, many representatives of industry associations, customers, suppliers and politics had come to celebrate the opening. Among them was Congressman Keith Self. During the following “open house”, the guests got to know the new factory first-hand, and learned how NORD offers appropriate drive solutions and service close to the customer. “With the new factory, we will be able to keep our customer promise and continue to offer very short delivery times”, says Torsten Schultz, president of NORD USA. “The city welcomed us with open arms, and we look forward to build a close relationship to the community.”

NORD now has its own sites in four regions of the USA:

Waunakee in Wisconsin (North)

Charlotte in North Carolina (East)

Corona in California (West)

McKinney in Texas (South)
