Herrmann celebrates 30 years in ultrasonics

As anniversary celebrations go Herrmann Ultrasonics could not ask for a better way to ring in 30 years of ultrasonic welding in the US. The company was recently named by the Daily Herald as one of the best small companies in Illinois to work for.

Herrmann has grown from a small start-up to an industry leader with a strong global presence in ultrasonic engineering.

The ‘Best Places to Work in Illinois’ is open to all publicly or privately held organizations, either for-profit or not-for-profit. The assessment is conducted in a two-part survey process evaluated by Best Companies Group, BCG. Part-one collects information about the employer’s benefits, policies, and general information. Holding the greatest value in scoring is the second part, consisting of a confidential 76 question survey, used to evaluate employees’ workplace experiences and view of culture.

President Uwe Peregi said: “We wanted to break new ground, to continue to inspire customers through our technology and employees. The Herrmann Culture is an integral part of our daily work. We want all our employees to enjoy job security, and the comradery of working together on something we are all passionate about. Stronger co-operation based on values improves the quality of life for everyone.”

Vast ultrasonic expertise and operational knowledge were amassed by Uwe Peregi in his past fourteen years as Vice President and General Manager. In his new role as President, Peregi will oversee the strategic vision, culture, continued growth, and market expansion. He will play a key role in developing and delivering Herrmann’s vision, and continued expansion to support the company’s clients.

Chuck Hannah, Director PLASTICS, added: “Having Uwe appointed to President of Herrmann Ultrasonics is a significant gesture of trust which reflects on his character and the culture Herrmann has created. This major milestone comes with great accountability and will allow our organization the room to grow for years to come”.

A remodeled and expanded building has transitioned to an open office floorplan offering better communication and team collaboration. Increased customer support and application testing can now take place in division-specific engineering and application labs. More machines have also been added to the manufacturing floor for increased production of ultrasonic tooling.
