We are committed to creating a workplace where our US team feels valued and inspired, fostering an environment where they can perform at their best with enthusiasm and motivation.”

The new complex is strategically located on Center Park Court in Winston-Salem, a bustling industrial center home to several prominent American companies.

Speaking about the importance of the new facility, Matt Everhart, CEO of Stadler America LLC, stated, “Stadler America’s new US headquarters will reflect the fact that serving our customers and each other as colleagues are truly our top priorities. While fast parts service is important, the real key to real service is having a highly skilled, friendly, knowledgeable and engaged team member to help. Our new facility will set the stage 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.”

Improved employee and customer experience
The new facility is designed to accommodate future growth while significantly improving the work environment for employees. With an emphasis on creativity and employee satisfaction, the office space aligns with the company’s mission to create a workplace that fosters innovation and engagement.
