The Bavarian special-purpose machine manufacturer Sonplas is expanding its international presence with the establishment of Sonplas USA Inc. in Chicago, Illinois. This new location strengthens the company’s customer focus in the US market, particularly within the automotive, electronics, and aerospace sectors. The goal is to strengthen our support for customers, respond more swiftly to project demands, and further enhance service quality.
Sonplas designs high-precision assembly and testing systems tailored to specific customer applications and industry requirements. The company has maintained a successful presence in the USA for nearly 20 years, with extensive project experience and lasting customer relationships. Demand for its high-tech solutions in precision assembly and testing continues to grow—especially in a market that values technological excellence and long-term investment security.
Michael Frankl, Managing Director of the new subsidiary, states, “The establishment of Sonplas USA Inc. marks the next strategic step for us.”
“The establishment of Sonplas USA Inc. marks the next strategic step for us,” says Michael Frankl, Managing Director of both the new subsidiary and Sonplas GmbH. “Having our own local team enables us to support our customers in the USA more closely—from the initial product concept through to after-sales service. This is a key factor in our success.”
The new Chicago-based subsidiary handles local sales and technical service. Customers benefit from faster response times, close coordination, personalized support, and assistance with commissioning, upgrades, and on-site training.
“The USA is a strategic growth market for us, thanks to its business-friendly environment and comparatively low regulatory barriers,” says Frankl. “Our customers prioritize quality, performance, and low life-cycle costs over short-term low purchase prices. That’s precisely where we excel.” The growing America First industrial strategy, along with tax incentives and targeted support programs for domestic manufacturing, further drives demand for Sonplas’ production solutions.
Sustained commitment
With the establishment of Sonplas USA Inc., the company underscores its long-term commitment to the North American market. Being closer to existing and potential customers aims to enhance service capabilities, facilitate knowledge transfer, and sustainably strengthen local partnerships.
