The FS Guide Rail production uses U.S.-sourced material. They will begin shipping in the U.S. and Canadian markets in late 2017.
“German engineering and American manufacturing is a powerful combination,” said Ole Held, CEO of Festool USA, in a statement. “Launching a U.S. production line will allow us to expand the Festool presence in North America and strengthen our commitment to create innovative, precise, superior quality products.”
The company also plans to expand its production facility in Lebanon to manufacture additional products in the future.
