It was double the celebration at the new TRUMPF Canada headquarters on Tuesday, March 10, as the company hosted the grand opening of its new Mississauga, ontario location while also announcing that Stefan Schreiber, managing director of the Canadian operation since 2011, will be returning to Germany April 1 and will be replaced by Stefan Fickenscher, who moves up to Canada from Farmington, Connecticut wher he has been serving as the product manager for TRUMPF Inc’s TruLaser product group.

Over 60 people were in attendance at the new TRUMPF Canada location which offers approximately 35 per cent more space than the company’s previous spot, allowing for a larger dedicated working show room and the ability to house a larger selection of spare parts.
“This building is a reflection of the success and the importance that we attach to the Canadian market,” said Peter Hoecklin, president and CEO of U.S.-based TRUMPF Inc., who was in attendance at the grand opening event. “This investment also underscores our commitment to our customers, to increase our local competence and services that we can provide, to expand our spare parts offering and enable faster response times.”
Stefan Fickenscher is the new managing director of the Canadian operation as of April 1, 2015.
Hoecklin also broke the news of Schreiber’s return to Germany and the appointment of Fickenscher to lead the Canadian operations. All three men played a role in cutting the ceremonial sheet-metal ribbon to officially open the show floor of the new facility.
On the show room floor customers were able to see live demonstrations on a TruLaser 3030 fiber featuring the Rotolas option (a North American first), as well as a TruLaser2030 fiber, the new TruPunch 2000, new TruBend 3100 press brake, a TruBend 7036, aTruMark laser marking system and a selection of TRUMPF power tools.
