 | | GGB, formerly Glacier Garlock Bearings, broke ground today for a 10,000 sm production facility on a 58,000 sm site in north central Slovakia near the town of Martin. |
 | | The new plant will consolidate low-volume production from facilities in Kilmarnock, Scotland, where GGB formerly shared production space with Dana Corporation, and Dolny Kubin, Slovakia, which will be closed upon completion of the new facility. |
 | | GGB also operates plants in Heilbronn, Germany; Annecy and Dieuze, France; Barueri, Brazil; and Thorofare, N.J., U.S.A. "In addition to supplying existing customers in Western Europe, our new facility gives us a strong presence in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union," said Bernd Fischer, president of GGB. |
