THOMASVILLE, GA, Oct. 2, 2007 -- Recently -- as more than 200 invited guests stood witness -- Wilo officials and employees cut the grand opening ribbon at the first office and manufacturing facility in the U.S.A. for the Wilo organization.

Speakers included: Terry Rouse, President and CEO of WILO EMU USA LLC, Rick Singletary, Georgia Bureau of Economic Development and Thomas Schweisfurth, Sales and Marketing Manager for Wilo AG as well as a member of the Wilo AG Board of Directors.

Terry Rouse, President and CEO of WILO EMU USA LLC, explained, "The construction of the new facility clearly demonstrates the large-scale commitment that the Wilo Group is making to the North American marketplace and, most importantly, it will help support the rapidly growing demand for Wilo pumps and mixers in this part of the world."

The new facility will be the primary Submersible Technology Center for Wilo in North America. Notably, the facility features the only test pit of its scale and type in North America. This is in addition to offices, training areas, manufacturing bays, warehouse space and shipping areas. It is sited on 10 acres, which provides room for future expansion.

WILO EMU USA LLC is headquartered in Thomasville, Georgia and provides heavy-duty municipal and industrial pumps specifically designed for water and solids-handling applications, including pumps for sewage, tertiary waste, and potable water. The company is part of the Wilo Group, which is one of the world's leading pump manufacturers.
