Schwalm USA has moved into a new 18,000-square-foot facility at 17 AD Asbury Road in Greenville. The new facility provides the company with office space and a larger warehouse.

A division of the Vortex Companies, Schwalm USA reports double-digit sales increases over the last two years, according to a news release.

"This side of our business has grown faster than we anticipated, and we are excited be able to support our expanding customer base with improved sales, service, repairs and training support," said Mike Vellano, CEO of the Vortex Companies, in the release.

Schwalm USA is a reseller, distributor and repair resource for Schwalm reinstatement cutters, SDT cutting tools, Picote systems and Deep Trekker pipe crawlers. The new building will feature a customer-training center for hands-on training of Schwalm and Picote equipment, the release said.

"We've built an exceptional team to support our customers at every level; from the initial sale and field training to customer support for equipment, parts and repairs," said Andrew Gonnella, executive vice president of sales and marketing for the Vortex Companies, in the release. "Many of our customers need quick repairs and cannot afford to wait for parts to come from overseas. In addition to selling and servicing Schwalm robots locally, we now have room to stock the 400 plus Picote products and replacement parts.”
