Hennecke GROUP moves North American headquarters to new facility south of Pittsburgh

Hennecke GROUP, a global leader in the manufacturing and supply of polyurethane processing equipment and plants, has moved its North American headquarters to a new purpose-built facility south of Pittsburgh, Penn.

The new headquarters at 1000 Energy Drive, Bridgeville, Penn., features more office and conference space, a research and development laboratory, a modern parts warehouse and areas for machinery repair and mixhead rebuilding services.

Modern construction methods and better use of space resulted in a more efficient and sustainable structure.

"This building better represents the innovation and leading polyurethane technology that we provide," said Lutz Heidrich, General Manager of Hennecke Inc. "We even used some of the materials that our customers make to construct the building."

The new building is insulated with continuous, foil-faced polyiso panels made by Hunter Panels, a Carlisle Construction Materials company. It also contains hot water heaters manufactured by Bradford White. Both companies are Hennecke customers.

Besides flexible- and rigid-faced insulating panels and hot water heaters, Hennecke manufactures equipment and supplies plants that make a wide variety of polyurethane-based products for the automotive, transportation, refrigeration, household goods, marine and aerospace, footwear, clothing, sporting goods, furniture, bedding, mattress and building and construction industries.

Built in South Fayette’s Alpine Point development, Hennecke’s new headquarters features:

• An R&D laboratory with low-pressure and high-pressure polyurethane processing machines that can be used for raw materials testing, customer trials, equipment training and demonstrations.
• A state-of-the-art warehouse, which incorporates automation and space-saving use of vertical lift modules (VLM) to hold Hennecke’s North American parts inventory.
• Conference and engineering areas designed to foster communication and collaboration.

The new address is: Hennecke GROUP, 1000 Energy Drive, Bridgeville, PA, 15017. Telephone numbers and email address remain unchanged.

An open house for customers will be held in the spring.

Hennecke is the only machinery, plant and system supplier capable of providing solutions for all core technologies in polyurethane processing. The North American headquarters is one of many Hennecke GROUP locations worldwide. Besides its corporate headquarters in Germany, Hennecke operates facilities in Italy, Brazil, Mexico, China, Singapore, South Korea, India and Russia.
