June 24, 2019 - LISSMAC Corporation’s ground breaking ceremony was conducted earlier this month, at the construction site of their new U.S. headquarters, to serve the U.S., Canadian, as well as South and Latin American markets.

As the U.S. subsidiary of German machine manufacturer LISSMAC GmbH, LISSMAC Corporation has been serving the American markets from their office, warehouse and production space in Waterford, New York, since 2009.

Due to the steadily increasing demand for our products and services over the past decade, we are rapidly outgrowing our currently rented facilities. After acquiring a 4 acre plot in Mechanicville early this year, construction is underway of our 16,000 square foot U.S. headquarters building, by Bast Hatfield Construction of Clifton Park. Our official Ground Breaking Ceremony took place on Tuesday, June 4th, 2019 at 2:00 pm, at 17 Route 146, Mechanicville, New York.

We are excited about the progress that has been made already at the construction site, and were happy to share this momentous milestone with our German parent company’s CEO, Klaus Kiefer, our entire Management and U.S. staff, as well as representatives of Bast Hatfield, LaBella Associates, our architectural firm, the Town of Halfmoon, our State Representatives’, Abele Builders, the Chamber of Commerce, and members of the press who covered the event.

LISSMAC is an international machine manufacturing company with a workforce of more than 360 employees worldwide. Our parent company is located in Bad Wurzach, in one of Germany’s southernmost provinces of Baden-Wuerttemberg. LISSMAC’s global presence includes 2 locations in Germany, as well as subsidiaries in the US, China, and the United Arab Emirates. Our parent company’s history in Germany goes back more than 30 years, during which time LISSMAC has continuously grown and expanded, and today encompasses 4 distinct business divisions: Metal Processing, Construction Technology, MT -Handling, and Plant Engineering.

Our US operation focuses mainly on machinery sales within the Metal Processing an d Construction Technology fields. In support of our nationwide salesforce, our new US headquarters will house our extensive parts and machinery stock, our service and parts sales departments, as well as our office and assembly facilities. To accommodate our ongoing growth, a second phase has already been built into the construction plans, which will allow us to double our space in the future, when the need arises, as we look forward to continuing to create additional jobs for the Capital Region.
