Charlotte, NC, May 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- As a sign of Bosch Rexroth's commitment to the U.S. market, they are making the largest investment in their history by opening a new hydraulics manufacturing facility on their existing campus in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. Livingston & Haven was the recipient of the first hydraulic A10VO pump out of the new facility. Livingston & Haven marked the occasion with an official presentation at their corporate headquarters on Monday, May 14, 2012. The pump was presented by Berend Bracht, Regional President, Bosch Rexroth Americas to Livingston & Haven President, Clifton Vann IV.

“The investment Bosch Rexroth is making in Fountain Inn, SC is a significant one. Their strategy is to support their world markets locally and this investment will allow the Fountain Inn facility to become the largest hydraulic manufacturing campus in the U.S. today,” said Tim Gillig, Vice President of Sales, Livingston & Haven. “Having this capability in our backyard gives Livingston & Haven a huge advantage in the marketplace and will result in better support for our local customers.
