Coperion GmbH, a subsidiary of Hillenbrand, Inc., has successfully realigned and relocated their North American operations from Ramsey, New Jersey, to their other facilities located in Pitman, New Jersey, Wytheville, Virginia and Houston, Texas. This realignment was implemented over an 18 month period of time from June 2014 until November 2015. Personnel moves have been completed and staff has moved to their new locations. The facilities in Pitman and Wytheville have gone through alterations and have increased space to accommodate the additional functions transferred to each location. The Wytheville plant has added an additional 52,000 sq.ft. in order to accommodate the new manufacturing, assembly functions, and warehouse department. The Pitman location has undergone an extensive reconstruction and now houses Coperion’s U.S. extrusion test lab, process technology, engineering, sales, customer service, and support functions in addition to the already existing Coperion K-Tron feeding technology business.

Ryan, President of Coperion. "The realignment of our assets to take advantage of available space and to bring the management and operation teams closer together is important to the entire group.
