Among them was Montana Governor Greg Gianforte as well as Dan Bartel, former Senator of Montana, and Senator Steve Daines, who sent his congratulations via video message.
"With this new location, we are sending a clear signal for long-term growth and transatlantic cooperation," said Managing Director Jens Bergner in his speech. "Our decision to move to Montana was an easy one: not only have we found a business-friendly environment here, but more importantly, we have found exceptional people with an impressive work ethic and strong community."
According to Vacom, the new location combines cleaning and logistics under one roof. The company already ventured across the Atlantic in 2020 with the opening of its first US location in Naples, Florida. The new branch in Lewistown now marks the next important milestone in better meeting the growing demand from the US semiconductor industry in the future.
A delegation from Gallatin College at Montana State University (MSU) visited Vacom at the company's headquarters in Grosslöbichau back in May. The group of students and lecturers were on a study trip through Germany and took the opportunity to get to know the vacuum technology provider.
