REICHSHOF-WEHNRATH, GERMANY — Extrusion Dies Industries (EDI) has established EDI GmbH as a wholly owned subsidiary to bring critical service functions closer to home for customers in Germany and seven other countries, including Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, and Switzerland.

The operation will occupy a 450-sq-m facility in Reichshof-Wehrath, initially focusing on sales service, die reconditioning, and customer inspection of new die systems prior to installation. The plan is to make the subsidiary a comprehensive service center to provide technical process support and spare parts as well as rework, says EDI president and CEO Timothy C. Callahan.
