Effective immediately, Stiles Machinery will sell and support Steinemann sanding technology in the United States and Canada.
Steinemann Technology AG and Stiles Machinery have announced the formation of their new strategic partnership. Effective immediately, Stiles will be responsible for the sales, service and support of all Steinemann Technology in the U.S. and Canada. Steinemann’s expertise in calibration and sanding in the composite panel industry, paired with Stiles’ service and support, will propel both companies to better serve their customers. In addition, both companies are looking forward to further contributing to the future of the composite panel industry and the growing cross laminated timber (CLT) and mass timber industry in North America.
As a cornerstone to this relationship, the Steinemann U.S. personnel will be joining the Stiles team to ensure that the service and support Steinemann customers are currently used to receiving, will be uninterrupted while both companies continue to expand the support opportunities for the market going forward.
“The sales of Steinemann products, service and support in the North American market is both important and essential for us,” says Christof Stürm, CEO of Steinemann Technology AG.
“With Stiles as a North America’s market leader for solutions in wood processing, we have found the perfect partner for USA and Canada. Due to the excellent after sales service and support, it is obvious that Stiles and Steinemann make the right strategic partnership. We are also excited that with Stiles, we will continue to enhance our product offering in both the CLT and mass timber industry, as well as the composite panel industry,”
Dan Murphy, the former president of Steinemann, has joined Stiles and is now the regional director for Stiles’ Great Lakes Region. His experience and relationship with both Steinemann and Stiles will assist in ensuring a great transition for Steinemann, Stiles and most importantly our customers.
“Our ongoing partnerships with our technology providers and customers are why we are able to provide continued opportunities to help grow our industries and customers with the latest technologies and visions,” says Russ Suor, executive vice president of Stiles.
“These partnerships have always been an integral part of our success. We are excited to be joining forces with Steinemann and together become an even more essential part of the composite panel, CLT and mass timber industries.”
Founded in 1917 with headquarters in Switzerland and subsidiaries in Malaysia and China, Steinemann is the leading manufacturer of wide belt sanding machines for the panel industry.
For more than 50 years, Stiles Machinery has been a North American industry leader in wood manufacturing solutions.
