The Swiss manufacturer of large format printers, SwissQprint, is building in Illinois. The new building is intended to pave the way for future growth in North America and offer better opportunities for customer service and product presentation.
The new building is being constructed on a 12,140 m² site in West Dundee, Illinois. The centrepiece of the new building will be a Showroom for the large format printers of the company and its applications. There is also more space for application and service teams, explains Erik Norman, Managing Director of SwissQprint America.
„We continue to see North America as a growth market. The new headquarters of our US subsidiary is proof of our endeavour to serve our North American customers in the best possible way.“

Project with sustainability endeavours
The new building will have a usable area of 2300 m² for Showroom, training facilities and a workroom for technical work such as machine overhauls. In addition, the warehouse capacity and office space will be considerably larger than at the current site in Elgin. Overall, the US team can look forward to 130 per cent more space.
In line with SwissQprint's sustainability policy, the installation of around 400 solar panels is planned, which will supply electricity from renewable resources.
