Strategic expansion to meet rapid growth
The decision to expand stems from STADLER’s remarkable growth in North America over the past four years, with revenue increasing by 50 % year over year. The new facility, spanning more than 2500 m², will significantly boost the company's capacity to serve existing and new customers. Set to include warehouse and office spaces designed with sustainability and future scalability in mind; the complex will also support STADLER's expanding workforce and operations.
The new complex is strategically located at Centre Park Court in Winston-Salem, a vibrant industrial hub home to several prominent U.S. companies. The six-acre site, surrounded by natural buffers and landscaped areas, was selected for its sustainability features and proximity to major transportation routes, including two major U.S. interstate highways. The facility is just 15 minutes from the nearest airport, ensuring efficient logistics and accessibility for employees and customers.

Speaking about the importance of the new facility, Mat Everhart, CEO of STADLER America LLC, stated, “The new US Headquarters for STADLER America will reflect the fact that service to our customers and each other as colleagues are truly our top priorities. While fast parts service is important, the true key to real service is a highly skilled, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging team member to assist. Our new facility will set the backdrop and create a welcoming space for potential new talent seeking an opportunity with STADLER. This is essential as we aim to continue to attract the best and brightest here.”
STADLER America, founded in 2016 with just four employees in Colfax, North Carolina, has grown significantly. Now employing 13 team members, the company supports 4 out of the top 10 recycling companies in the U.S., along with many other customers. Through its dedication to engineering expertise and complete project management solutions, STADLER has earned a reputation as a trusted partner for top-tier recyclers. The new facility will provide the capacity to expand the workforce further and support STADLER’s mission to deliver innovative recycling solutions across North America.
