菲尼克斯電氣(美國)慶祝25周年慶典,為擴建工程破土
June 30, 2006 --
賓州米德爾城
“It was an ambitious and visionary decision of my brother Gerd Eisert, the architect of the Phoenix Contact business activities abroad, to enter the North American continent 25 years ago,” said CEO Klaus Eisert. “He was convinced that this highly developed nation would be a future market for Phoenix Contact. At that time, we were competing with a small range of European DIN-rail terminal blocks on the one hand and PCB terminal blocks on the other hand. This turned out to be a success story!"
首席執行官Klaus Eisert表示:“這是我兄弟Gerd Eisert,負責菲尼克斯電氣國外業務活動的設計師,一個雄心勃勃且卓有遠見的決定,在25年前進入北美大陸。他深信這個高速發展的國家將成為菲尼克斯電氣的未來市場。那個時候,我們的競爭產品一方面是小范圍的歐洲DIN-rail接線盒,另一方面是PCB接線盒。我們最終取得了成功。”
“The market chances with the product range completed by surge voltage protection, Interface modules and automation technology have not changed today. We will do our utmost to provide for more marketability and thus for more customer satisfaction.”
“市場機會,連同由浪涌電壓保護、界面模塊和自動化技術完善的產品范圍今天并沒有發生改變。我們將盡最大的努力提供更適應市場的產品,從而實現更大的顧客滿意度。”
Eisert and other Phoenix Contact representatives performed the ceremonial “first dig” for a new 45,000-square-foot distribution center and the expansion of the company’s manufacturing facility from 28,000 to 90,000 square feet, necessary to keep up with recent growth.
Eisert和其他菲尼克斯電氣代表參加了這個“第一鏟”儀式,一個面積達45,000平方英尺的新配送中心,以及為了適應最近的發展而從28,000 擴建到 90,000平方英尺的公司生產工廠。
Founded in 1923, Phoenix Contact is a worldwide leader in the development and manufacture of specialized electronic components and connection systems. World headquarters are located in
成立于1923年的菲尼克斯電氣公司是專注于電子部件和連接系統的開發和生產的全球領導者。全球總部位于德國Blomberg市。1981年美國分公司成立于Harrisburg,員工僅有5人。1985年,公司遷移到米德爾城,成為今天415名員工大部分人工作的地方。
Strong sales growth in recent years has led not only to the expansion of physical facilities, but also to increased employment. One hundred twenty new employees have been hired during the past year and a half, and the company plans to add 250 more by 2010.
近年來快速的銷售增長不但導致物質設施增加,而且也增加了更多的雇員。在過去的一年半時間里公司雇傭了120名新員工,而到2010年,公司計劃再增加250名員工。
“It's exciting to see our continued rapid growth in the
菲尼克斯電氣(美國)總裁Jack Nehlig表示:“非常興奮看到我們在美國的連續飛速增長,甚至在我們運營的第25年仍是如此。我們菲尼克斯電氣一貫向我們的客戶提供令人興奮的新產品以及無以倫比的支持和服務。”
“With a continuous growth and creative marketing, Phoenix Contact USA has become our largest subsidiary abroad and reached a leading market position since the foundation 25 years ago,” said Frank Stürenberg, executive vice-president of Global Sales. “This is due to the excellent performance of the entire team. The present decision to establish our Phoenix Contact Center of Competence in
菲尼克斯電氣全球營銷執行副總裁Frank Stürenberg表示:“通過持續的發展和創新性的行銷,菲尼克斯電氣(美國)已成為我們最大的外國子公司,而且從25前成立以來,達到了一個領先的市場地位。這一切歸功于整個團隊的突出表現。現在我們決定在Harrisburg建立菲尼克斯電氣能力中心,為北美和南美大陸集中研發、產品管理、生產和物流功能,為菲尼克斯電氣在美國擁有一個可持續的、成功的和繁榮的未來奠定了基礎。”
Last year the company changed its business structure to become a Trans-National Corporation (TNC), and the
去年公司改變其業務架構,成為一家跨國企業,米德爾城,連同德國和中國的總部,成為三大區域業務單元(RBU)之一。美洲RBU負責美洲所有子公司,包括美國、加拿大、巴西、墨西哥和阿根廷公司的新產品的研發和工程工作。
The new distribution center, slated for completion in 2007, is needed to address the rapid growth of product distribution through the
計劃2007年完工的新配送中心,用于滿足通過米德爾城工廠配送產品的飛速發展。現幾乎達到滿負荷的現有配送中心已經不能理想地處理美國客戶的預計出貨增長,以及美洲其他菲尼克斯電氣子公司日益增長的出貨量。為了適應因創立美洲RBU而帶來的生產增長而擴建的生產工廠,預計將于2008年完成。
