New US facility expands operations

Expanding its operations, Pryor, a marking, identification and traceability solutions company has opened a new facility in North America.

This move will enable the Sheffield-based firm to meet growing demand for its advanced manufacturing solutions and further enhance its service to customers here in the US.

Pryor has been present in the US market for over 30 years, supplying a selection of its solutions and supporting customers through local distribution partnerships. Operating under the name Pryor Technology, customers will now have access to Pryor’s full product portfolio, including its leading laser and dot peen marking machines and manual marking tools.

The new facility, which officially opens for business on May 15^th 2017, is strategically located in Richmond, Virginia. This places Pryor Technology within a one day drive of 40% of the US population and in close proximity to local sea ports to receive shipments from the UK.

“Opening the new facility in Richmond represents a significant step forward for Pryor. Not only will it enable us to meet growing demand for our solutions, we can also deliver an even better, more comprehensive service to customers based in North America,” explained Alastair Morris, Sales Director at Pryor.

Morris added: “Our Richmond workforce is trained to the high skill levels of our UK team, so we can provide the same level of expertise and support that has earned our UK service an unrivalled reputation. We’ll also have better market intelligence than ever before, allowing us to develop our products for the specific requirements of the US market.”
