Virginia is particularly business-oriented, with its pro-business laws, Port of Virginia access, logistics and infrastructure. We found top-class universities and a great community college, with programs dedicated to the mechatronics sector that will grow excellent young engineers with the skills necessary to run ELDOR’s advanced automated lines. Finally, the Roanoke Valley is a beautiful region with natural beauty and quality of life.
A major strategic objective is to be successful in the United States.
The first step came in 2014, when Eldor opened a technical and commercial office in the greater Detroit region, where major automotive manufacturers are located in the USA.
We then chose to build our manufacturing plant in Virginia, a business-oriented state facilitating logistics processes via the Port of Virginia and its developed infrastructure. Eldor ultimately established in Roanoke, positioning itself between two distinguished universities, Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia. These two universities have strong synergies with Eldor in the development of solutions for mobility in the future. Here our engineers can discover ideas and intellectual property, as well as new colleagues. Special study programmes in mechatronics prepare excellent well-trained young engineers with the culture and skills perfectly suited to Eldor’s high technology processes.
