Kamstrup, a supplier of intelligent energy and water metering solutions, has opened a water meter production facility in the U.S. The grand opening program included a ribbon-cutting by Lars Gert Lose, the Danish Ambassador to the U.S., followed by a tour of the production area.
While companies across all manufacturing sectors are offshoring production, Kamstrup is bringing in production and jobs to the U.S. Kamstrup U.S.-based production will enable close proximity between customers, production and development to facilitate innovation. By adding an additional manufacturing capacity, Kamstrup will be able to meet the demand for its smart metering solutions.
Kamstrup is known for its automated production processes. With automated production, meters are built with repeatable precision; it is one of the reasons why Kamstrup has a near-zero meter failure rate. Kamstrup implements automation throughout the production process, including autonomous mobile robots to transport semi-finished and finished items and a robot to package boxes and pallets. Kamstrup also operates an ISO-17025 accredited flow laboratory to ensure the accuracy of their water meters.
Its focus on innovative manufacturing processes will also benefit the Georgia business community on a whole by bringing manufacturing jobs to the area.
