When maierAMERICA first set up shop in Norcross 25 years ago, it wasn’t just another international company planting a flag in Georgia soil. It was the start of something bigger. Fast forward to today, and this German-born manufacturing powerhouse has not only helped shape Gwinnett’s industrial landscape, but it’s also celebrating a milestone that speaks volumes about community, craftsmanship, and cross-continental collaboration.
This year marks two major anniversaries: maierAMERICA’s 25th anniversary here in Gwinnett and their parent company’s jaw-dropping 100th year in operation overseas. That’s a century of precision engineering, innovation, and global leadership, all grounded in the same values that made their Norcross team thrive; quality work, loyal partnerships, and a deep respect for people who make progress happen.
