“ROLLON is proud to announce that we’re growing our manufacturing capabilities to optimize service for our customers,’” said Rüdiger Knevels, CEO. “We will be better positioned than ever to deliver the company’s linear guides, actuators, systems and gantries to customers in North and South America.”
Combined production, new opportunities
The custom-built Michigan manufacturing facility spans 147,000 square feet. This location will serve as the U.S. manufacturing hub for the following the company’s product lines:
- Linear components
- Actuators
- Robotic transfer units (RTUs)

The company will leverage the move to introduce digital systems and smart manufacturing processes that it can adjust in real time to meet the changing demands and conditions of customers and overall supply chain.
The New Jersey office will house ROLLON’s engineering, marketing, customer service, HR, product management and purchasing teams in a central location.
“We serve a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, packaging, aerospace, factory automation, logistics, material handling and healthcare. This transition allows us to work closely with our customers to meet the growing demand for ROLLON products,” said Knevels.
