HAMILTON, Ohio -- The new Corghi branch for the North American market opens for business on May 16 in Hamilton, Ohio.

Historically, the North American market has always been one of Corghi’s most important business areas. The company has been present in the U.S. market for more than 20 years during thanks to a collaboration with a major U.S. provider of wheel service equipment. In addition to tire changers, Corghi has been offering wheel balancers and other product lines dedicated to wheel service.

Recognizing the strategic importance of the American market, Corghi has decided to enter it directly in order to offer to its customers the complete wheel service equipment product range, to ensure the highest level of service to tire professionals.

A dedicated Corghi American and Italian staff will directly supervise from the new Ohio facility all sales and service activities, including supply of spare parts, through a network of sales representatives, wholesales distributors and service centers. The new Corghi USA Headquarters covers an area of 12,000 square feet, and includes offices, a warehouse, a showroom and a seminar facility.

“We are very proud to have opened in such a short time the new Corghi U.S.A. branch,” said Claudio Spiritelli, Corghi sales and marketing director. “I wish to thank our local and Italian staff who have made a terrific job to achieve this goal.”

“By opening this new branch,” Spiritelli added, “Corghi will be able to better understand the market needs and to develop products and services increasingly focused on gaining maximum customer satisfaction.”

The website for the new U.S. branch -- www.corghiusa.us is now live, and a toll free number for the service help desk will be activated starting on May 16.
