/KEYB Organs Opens Manufacturing Plant in U.S.A. Columbia, MO, December
1, 2012-- Dietrolequinte di Elvio Previati today announced the opening
of a manufacturing facility in Columbia, Missouri, United States. This
move is to drastically increase manufacturing capabilities and KeyB
product offerings.//
//Sales of KeyB Organs have increased steadily over the last few years.
The current facility in Fabbrico, Italy, cannot keep up with demand.
This has prompted Dietrolequinte di Elvio Previati to make the bold move
to relocate all manufacturing to the United States in their new 100,000
square foot campus in Columbia, Missouri, USA. This location was
strategically chosen because of its geographic proximity to the center
of the country. Columbia, Missouri is between St. Louis, MO and Kansas
City, MO and is most noted for being the home of University of Missouri
as well as several other colleges and universities. The KeyB campus is
located off Interstate 70 which is a main artery for trucking in the
U.S. as well as an international trade zone. KeyB Organs campus includes
a state of the art research and development department, and
collaboration is in progress with University of Missouri Industrial
manufacturing systems engineering department to develop cutting edge
processes to improve quality and increase efficiency while preserving
top standards of craftsmanship.//
//KeyB Organs new campus will also house a comprehensive call center for
consumer, dealer and distributor for sales and support. The expert
support staff has been provided a state-of-the-art database system to
track and catalog all support tickets, and creating a dynamic knowledge
base which will be available online in early 2013.//
//KeyB Organs has turned their focus on dealer profitability and
consumer support in designing this new facility. The move to the USA
helps to accomplish just that, lowering the cost of manufacturing and
distribution, improving dealer support internationally, and giving the
consumers what they are looking for, a product manufactured in the USA.
KeyB’s employees are taking great pride in bringing manufacturing of
their products to America; KeyB Organ’s new campus is only 400 miles
from the birthplace of the original Tonewheel organ. While other
manufactures are moving their manufacturing to Asia, KeyB Organ’s has
moved their manufacturing to the Global leader of musical instrument
consumption, the USA.//
//Whereas significant investments have been made in the moving of KeyB
Organs to the USA in the areas of technology and manufacturing, a great
care has been taking to keep the hand built quality of these instruments
unchanged by marrying computer controlled processes with old world
craftsmanship. KeyB believes that this strategy will yield the best
balance for quality control, consistency and technological innovation,
with attention to detail and pride of craftsmanship unmatched in the
world of production musical instruments./
