EPLAN Relocates US Headquarters to Chicago Burbs
May 26, 2015 - EPLAN Software & Services relocated its corporate U.S. headquarters to suburban Chicago, IL. The corporate office has moved from its current location in Farmington Hills, MI to the Woodfield Corporate Center in Schaumburg, IL. This corporate office will include the company’s executives, marketing, sales and operations. The Farmington Hills, MI office is still open and will be utilized for the technical staff, an EPLAN customer training center and the Eastern Region Sales office.
According to EPLAN’s president, Ray Gaynor, the move was required by the significant growth the company has realized in the last few years. “As our products and solutions have become more recognized with higher engineering efficiency gains in the industry and with the significant customer growth and staff increase, our expansion is critical.” said Gaynor. "Our new office in Schaumburg is 50 percent larger than our previous office and offers a more efficient layout including an additional customer training center. It will support our continued growth and expansion, and provide a better work environment for current and future staff. I think it emphasizes our commitment to both our customers and our employees."
The EPLAN office is co-located with their sister company Rittal. Germany-based Friedhelm Loh Group is EPLAN’s and Rittal’s parent company.
“The synergies between our companies are extensive.” says Gaynor. “By moving closer to our sister company, and sharing a joint showroom, we will be able to highlight the importance of our partnership within our industries.”
EPLAN Software and Services new corporate address is 425 N. Martingale Rd., Suite #470, Schaumburg, IL 60173. The company's main phone number has changed to 1-847- 240-4667.
EPLAN Software & Service develops engineering solutions, which accelerate the product development process. Interdisciplinary expert systems assure the highest degree of productivity and data integration. The solution provider develops customer-specific and tailor-made PDM and PLM concepts and provides comprehensive services such as customizing, consulting and training. Innovative development competence, a consistently practical approach, and international presence are the resulting success factors. EPLAN is part of Rittal International and thus of the Friedhelm Loh Group with 11,500 employees worldwide and generated revenues of about 3 billion USD in 2011. EPLAN is therefore synonymous with continuity and investment security. Eight offices in North America and company presence in 50 countries support 45,000 customers with 110,000 installations worldwide. The corporate motto - 'Efficient Engineering' - underlines the proficiency of optimized, efficient processes, which keep companies competitive in the long term.
