More capacity, a stronger offering: Troax Group raises the bar for North American customers

North American customers can now access the full range of Troax Group's solutions from a single, state-of-the-art production facility in Portland, Tennessee. The 300,000-square-foot site is now in production and ramping up. This marks a key step in the Group's North American growth strategy.

"We have great confidence in the US market and see significant opportunities to grow our market share. Relocating our production from the Chicago area to Greater Nashville is also part of a broader unification and automation of our North American operations, so that we can better serve our customers," says Mikael Carlsson, interim Regional President Americas.
 

Greater capacity and a complete offering for customers

The new facility measures 300,000 square feet (approx. 28,000 m²) and significantly expands Troax's production capacity in North America. Built with world-class automation and incorporating best practice from across the Group's manufacturing network, it strengthens operational efficiency and consistency in how Troax serves customers. The facility also marks the completion of the merger between the sales organisations of Troax's two North American brands, Troax and Folding Guard. Customers now have a single point of contact for the full range of solutions that both brands offer.

"With one combined offering that brings together the best of both brands, plus the full range of Troax Group's solutions, we can now give our customers everything they need from a single partner. Our decentralised business model means we operate close to our customers, which puts us in a stronger position to meet their needs," says Mikael Carlsson.

Investing in long-term growth

"This facility is part of optimising our manufacturing footprint and a clear statement of our ambition to grow in North America. Few of our competitors operate at this level of automation, and this gives us a real advantage in serving our customers through higher flexibility, efficiency, and quality. Together with significantly higher capacity this move will accelerate the Group’s growth. The investment contributes to our position as the market leader in industrial safety with an offering that goes beyond safety to support our customers' performance," says Martin Nyström, President & CEO of Troax Group.
