DOT GmbH announced plans to establish DOT America Inc. The facility will be the company’s first location outside Germany and will enable it to fill a gap in the supply chain to its North American clients.
The company is investing approximately $4.5 million to lease, renovate and equip a 17,520 square-foot facility in Columbia City, Ind.
“Although business relations with the U.S. customers are already well established, the generation of further growth needs direct market presence,” Hans Eifeler, managing director of DOT, stated in a company press release. “DOT chose to establish its North American operations in Indiana primarily because the world’s leading orthopedic companies are located there. In addition, Indiana has a positive, welcoming business climate for foreign investors.”
