The 3000ft2 facility, on the FMC Technologies campus in Macaé, will provide spares, repair, technical training, equipment leasing and logistics management. In partnership with FMC, which is set to take full ownership of Schilling this month, the facility has been staffed with local personnel and will expand services throughout 2012 to include more Schilling product lines. ‘The Brazil market is growing rapidly for our customers, and Schilling will continue to invest in providing the most comprehensive local support available in the region,’ declared Schilling Robotics CEO Tyler Schilling.
