Swedish company Steelwrist calls itself the fastest-growing tiltrotator supplier in North America. It recently inaugurated its new headquarters in Newington, Connecticut, marking a major expansion for the company’s operations and enhancing its capacity to serve the rapidly growing North American market.
A tiltrotator is a hydraulic attachment/tool used on most excavators and backhoes.
The facility’s inauguration event was attended by US Senator Richard Blumenthal (D) from Connecticut, executives from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), dealers, customers, and the complete Steelwrist team in North America. Blumenthal, along with Steelwrist Chief Executive Officer Stefan Stockhaus, conducted the official ribbon-cutting ceremony, reflecting strong support and enthusiasm within the community.
“This inauguration represents a significant step forward for Steelwrist in North America, and with the new facility, we can continue our exceptional growth trajectory and even better serve our customers and dealers in the region. It was a pleasure to host Senator Richard Blumenthal and explain the efficiency improvement potential that our products can bring to the US construction industry,” stated Stockhaus.

Steelwrist entered the North American market at CONEXPO in 2017 and established its first location in Berlin, Connecticut. The new headquarters in Newington, just five minutes from the original site, is more than five times larger, underscoring Steelwrist’s rapid growth and commitment to the region.
The new facility in Newington provides increased capacity and improved infrastructure, which it said positions it to continue its leading innovation in the tiltrotator market. As excavator contractors seek to increase the efficiency and versatility of their investments, Steelwrist has experienced strong growth, with tiltrotator sales increasing at a high speed.
“I am very excited to have inaugurated our new headquarters in Newington, which marks a new chapter in Steelwrist’s support for the North American market. We have an exceptional team in place where every single one goes the extra mile for our customers. Combining this with our new facility, I look forward to continued success,” said Richard Aulin, Steelwrist Vice President of Region Americas.
