German Leader in Industrial Automation and Network Solutions Chooses Lansing, Strengthening the Region’s Status as a Hub for Innovation and International Business

Lansing, Mich. (Sept. 9, 2024) — Aunex, a German leader in industrial automation and network solutions, is launching its first U.S. office and warehousing space in Lansing, Michigan. This strategic move represents a significant expansion of Aunex's global footprint and reinforces the region's growing reputation as a hub for innovation and international business.

The company's expansion into the U.S. market is facilitated through the Lansing Economic Area Partnership's (LEAP) Global Lansing Initiative, which supports foreign businesses in establishing a successful presence in the Lansing area.

“Since some of our key customers are based in Michigan, particularly in the Lansing area, it was only logical to establish our first U.S. office location and warehouse here. The excellent support from LEAP made the entire process efficient and easy,” said Bernd Kremer, President at Aunex.

"Aunex's decision to establish its first U.S. office in the Lansing Region is a testament to our area's growing reputation as a hub for innovation and international business," said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of LEAP (left). "This move not only reinforces our commitment to creating an environment that attracts global leaders but also promises to deliver significant economic benefits to the Lansing Region. We look forward to supporting Aunex as it brings advanced network and industrial solutions to our community, driving growth and opportunity for businesses and residents alike."

Specializing in advanced network support, project consulting, and industrial wireless solutions, Aunex is renowned for its cutting-edge expertise in industrial wireless technology. Their tailored services cater to various sectors, including crane systems, water management plants, stage technology, and amusement rides. By deploying both IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth 5 technologies, Aunex ensures optimized solutions for high data rate needs and energy-efficient applications in industrial settings.

Aunex's new office will be located at the Shared Office Space (SOS) in Lansing, Michigan. This collaborative workspace aligns with Aunex's innovative approach and provides a platform for connecting with local partners. 

Lansing Mayor Andy Schor (left) expressed his excitement about Aunex's entry into the U.S. market, stating, “Lansing is a world-class city and we are incredibly proud to welcome international investment. Lansing will continue to be a leader nationally and internationally in working with our business community which will result in high paying jobs for our residents and new tools and technologies for all of Michigan, the U.S., and the world! I am so excited to welcome Aunex to Lansing as their entry into the U.S. market.”

In addition to the office space, Aunex utilizes warehousing space at the Alliance building owned and operated by the Michigan State University Research Foundation (MSURF) in Lansing. The state-of-the-art, two-story, 68,000 square-foot multi-tenant facility offers a combination of office, flex-lab, and high-bay warehouse space. Its strategic location provides direct access to Michigan State University, fostering cross-city collaboration and enhancing recruitment opportunities for high-tech talent.

“We're pleased to work with LEAP to welcome Aunex to Lansing,” said Jeff Smith, director of research parks at the MSU Research Foundation (left). “We look forward to connecting them into the Michigan State University innovation ecosystem as they establish their presence here.”

LEAP, the Lansing Region's economic development agency, has played a vital role in Aunex's transition to the U.S. market. LEAP has provided crucial assistance in locating office space and facilitating the soft landing process.

With this expansion, Aunex is poised to leverage its advanced technology and industry experience to address the evolving needs of the industrial IT market in the U.S. and contribute to the region's economic growth.
