Bürkert Opens New U.S. Campus

HUNTERSVILLE, North Carolina -- Just two years after its groundbreaking, Bürkert's new United States headquarters has opened its doors. The 173,000 square-foot complex on a 98-acre complex currently houses 100 employees. More from the release: "A 43.7kW solar farm comprised of 366 panels on the roof supplies power directly to the facility and transfers power back to the grid during low usage. To reduce lighting needs, four separate bays of skylights plus 14 Solatubes provide natural daylight to the employees in the climate controlled production and warehouse area. The manufacturing area includes two separate CNC (Computerized Numerical Calculation) machine shops to produce manifolds. Valve systems are assembled and tested in Bürkert´s class 10,000 Clean Room."
