“Over the past five years, annual sales of PI USA have grown by more than 10 percent. At the same time, PI’s production in the USA increased by 30 to 50 percent each year,” says Markus Spanner, CEO of the PI Group. “With this new production facility, we lay the foundation to meet the growing demands of the American markets. At the same time, by continuously increasing our local production, we further reduce lead times and provide even more flexibility to support our American customers.”

With core competencies in nanopositioning, piezo technology, and high-precision automation, PI has developed into an established supplier for leading edge companies in the market segments of Photonics, Semiconductors, Free Space Optical Communication, Laser Technology as well as Super-Resolution Microscopy & Life Sciences.
