SCHULZ IN THE MEDIA

Schulz of America (SOA), a subsidiary of Schulz Compressores, headquartered in Joinville (SC), has just changed its address in the United States. The new office is located in a large and modern space in the city of Acworth, part of the metropolitan area of Atlanta, in the state of Georgia, and now has 30.000 sf of floor space.

Strategically located nearby major centers in the United States and the largest international airport in the world, the new branch aims to expand Schulz’s market share in North America, seeking not only to boost sales, but to expand its product portfolio as well.

According to Fábio Juliano Rosa, Export manager at Schulz Compressores, expectations with the new and expanded physical space are great: “We hope to better serve the American market and thereby increase our market share, strengthening the Schulz brand even more”.

With modern architecture and state-of-the-art equipment, the company invested around US$ 2.5 million to build the new branch. The new space has an administrative area, training rooms, parking and a product storage area twice the size of the previous warehouse. “We understand that the North American market has great potential and expanding the operation is essential for us to explore this market”, explains Rosa.

Operations at Schulz of America started in 1999, with the opening of the branch in Acworth, and since then the company has offered the American market a full line of pumps, oil-lubricated and oil-free air compressors, rotary-screw compressors, scroll compressors, compressed air dryers, as well as filters and spare parts.

The project is differentiated and sole in Brazil, as it allows the products to be installed in a classified area (place with explosive atmosphere) using frequency inverter in the drive of the compressors.

Confirming its commitment to supplying the compressors strictly within the term agreed upon, the products were approved and released for delivery after an inspection executed by a team of auditors of Petrobras in the products manufactured.

“I congratulate all the team for the professionalism and dedication which was given to this project and that will enable us for future challenges with the customer Petrobras”, acknowledged Denis Soncini, director of operations of Schulz Compressores.
