Grote Europe Grand Opening2Grote Industries has continued worldwide expansion of its truck lighting and vehicle safety systems business with the opening of its new production and customer service facility in Niederwinkling, Germany.

The new European headquarters, located near Munich, is a state-of-the-art lean manufacturing facility and will supply LED products to various producers of commercial vehicles, construction- and agricultural machinery throughout Europe, the company says.

“The opening of our new Niederwinkling offices is a major step towards providing local service and support for our European and global customers,” says Grote President and COO Dominic Grote.  “It is also a very significant milestone towards transforming Grote from a primarily North American company to a true multinational enterprise. This new location will enable us to service our growing list of European customers with the latest in high quality LED lighting technology, manufactured with Grote’s newest lean production work cells.”

“We are very pleased that we have been able to improve our presence in Europe during last year. Now one of our major production locations is near many of our larger customers,” says Klaus Vetterl, managing director for Grote Europe. “This was achieved primarily due to the new young team we have placed here in Niederwinkling. Not only do we have extensive production capability in Europe, we have customer service and our sales and marketing for Europe centrally located for maximum customer service.”
