The centre at Milwaukee will cater to the local manufacturers of Wisconsin and produce equipment for the medical, mining and aviation industries such as industrial controls, imaging equipment or monorails.

That in Wilmington in contrast will serve the shipbuilding, automotive, and food processing industries among others.

On the expansion, president and CEO of the company, Angus Taylor, said the company aims to better serve the advanced manufacturing customer base in the US.

“These new offices enable our project managers and technical staff to work very closely with local high-tech companies trying to solve quality control and high precision measurement issues, or assist customers who are ready to explore metrology automation,” he added.
