Palmer Johnson Power Systems Celebrates the Opening of its Sun Prairie Remanufacturing Center

October 10, 2006

Palmer Johnson officially opened its new 65,000 square foot remanufacturing center in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, on Thursday, September 28th.

Prior to the ribbon cutting, Craig Parsons, Palmer Johnson’s General Manager, gave tribute to the employees of Palmer Johnson. “It’s not the building or its overhead cranes or its 6 test stands that are going to drive customers to this new facility; it’s the skills, talents and dedication of this great team of Palmer Johnson employees.” The entire PJ team, along with special guest Bucky Badger, cut the ribbon.

Palmer Johnson’s new state-of-the-art facility, consisting of more than 50,000sf of shop space, is designed specifically for heavy-duty transmission and axle remanufacturing and service. The Sun Prairie facility is staffed with an experienced team of factory-trained service technicians. The new facility also houses a 10,000sf machining center and Palmer Johnson’s administrative headquarters.
Palmer Johnson designs, implements and manages turn-key transmission and axle remanufacturing programs for off-highway OEMs. Palmer Johnson’s success in establishing national remanufacturing programs with OEMs such as John Deere, Caterpillar, CNH, AGCO and Komatsu had outgrown the Company's former facility.

Palmer Johnson operates its remanufacturing programs as an extension of the OEM, cooperating with the OEM to design a program incorporating that manufacturer’s unique objectives. These programs are structured to assist OEMs in:

• Capturing aftermarket parts sales,
• Improving end user and dealer customer service and
• Creating and expanding a remanufacturing profit center.

Palmer Johnson distributes, services and remanufactures heavy-duty off-highway transmissions and axles. The Company operates 13 full sales and service branches stretching from the Midwest to California. The company represents leading manufactures including Twin Disc, ZF, AxleTech, Eaton, Carraro, Funk and other leading transmission and axle manufacturers.
