Swiss industrial and mechatronic solution manufacturer Stäubli today announced plans to merge Stäubli Electrical Connectors, based in Windsor, California, and Stäubli Corporation, based in Duncan, South Carolina.
 
The divisions will merge into a single legal entity, Stäubli Corporation, effective January 1, 2026. The company says the move will strengthen its presence in North America.
 
The company believes the consolidation will streamline processes and expand capabilities. In North America, Stäubli currently employs 350 people across five legal entities, offering engineering, manufacturing, assembly, customer support, service, sales, and training.
 
For the Windsor site, the merger creates an opportunity to evolve from a dedicated electrical connectors location into a multi-division site, including fluid connectors, robotics and textiles. The company says the expansion will strengthen its presence on the West Coast and improve service for customers in the region.

Stäubli Electrical Connectors originally joined the Stäubli group through the 2002 acquisition of Multi-Contact and has since become a major pillar for the company.
 
The merger marks a strategic step toward consolidating operations under one organization in the U.S., with its main location in Duncan, South Carolina, a factory and R&D center in Windsor, California, and offices in Querétaro, Mexico, and Novi, Michigan.
