January 24, 2008 - FIPA GmbH opens a new office in Atlanta, Ga. FIPA, Inc. Atlanta is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIPA GmbH based in Ismaning/Munich, Germany. FIPA GmbH is a long-time leader in providing quality products and flexible service with experienced problem-solving for companies specializing in material flow. The company provides solutions for vacuum technology, extraction, gripping, and pneumatic manual and automated air nippers.
Growth of the company can be attributed to its comprehensive technical knowledge and complete line of products, customizable to meet the needs of any customer. Placing a high priority on individualized solutions, FIPA experts seek to resolve issues where others have already given up. Its technical sales team collaborates with customers to address current challenges, test products and adapt to technical requirements, producing a product that will meet the customer’s needs.
The new Atlanta site positions FIPA for further growth as the company has been aggressively expanding its U.S. sales force and turning to local experts who have unrivaled knowledge of the North American market and the specific requirements of U.S. customers for materials and services.
Principle Rainer Mehrer says FIPA is prepared to handle the foreseeable growth which will result from the new U.S. site. “The success of our international expansion will be determined by the speed at which we are able to act in response to customer requirements. A customer’s production plant should never have to stand idle because a worn vacuum suction cup cannot be replaced without delay.
The agility of our company and the freedom we give our employees to act quickly to meet the needs of our customers gives FIPA a clear competitive advantage,” says Mehrer. The company is committed to continuous expansion of its product lines, currently offering approximately 8,000 different products. The type, size, design and materials of the FIPA’s vacuum components are perfectly made and adapted to suit the requirements of the most widely varying sectors. Recent product developments include the creation of the smallest system gripper on the EOAT market.
The GR04.090 gripper in FIPA’s Mini series weighs in at just 13 grams and has a unique grip-detection sensor, free of any moving parts, making it one of the most powerful and durable of its kind. Having seen rapid continuous expansion in product lines since 2002, FIPA has become a trailblazer in the marketplace. Mehrer says, “The Company is in the comfortable position of knowing there is a demand for our products in every sector that has requirements for moving and fixing things.
FIPA has an important role to play in the global marketplace, and we are excited to bring our entrepreneurial spirit and customer-centered mission to the U.S. market.”
