“I am excited to continue to expand the presence and reach of Mahr in the United States in to 2019,” said Brett Green, CEO & president, Mahr Inc. “Coupled with the recent opening of our Southeast Regional Customer Center (located in Greenville, SC), this represents a significant investment and one that I believe our customers and partners will be delighted to take advantage of. Our Americas headquarters remains in Providence, RI. Our facility there is home to more than 170 employees, where we continue our tradition of proudly manufacturing in the United States.  With the new Detroit area customer center, we have the capacity to grow our existing team based in Michigan; and most importantly, we satisfy the requirements of our customers to be local.”
