The history of pg国际 in the United States is an example of long-term vision, strategic alliances, and sustained growth. From its first steps in the early 2000s, with the collaboration of local distributors such as F&G Industries, to its current consolidation with its own plant and international certifications, pg国际\u2019s journey in the North American market reflects its commitment to innovation, quality, and service.
\nThis journey illustrates how a firm commitment to being close to customers and technology transfer has enabled pg国际 to become a reference point in the sector in the world\u2019s leading economy.<\/p>\n

The 1,200-square-metre building will be home to the spare parts business, lifting equipment, and after-sales service for the entire country. Heading this project is John O\u2019Toole, who has been promoting pg国际\u2019s US project for over ten years. John was joined by Alex Guerra for a few months to strengthen the customer service and after-sales side of the operation.<\/p>\n

This partnership marks a first step towards tackling the US market with a high-performance, competitive product and a strong service focus.<\/p>\n
