Over the years the company has grown and expanded its Berlin Heights facility to include room for global headquarters, engineering, R&D, manufacturing and warehousing. This space and a dynamic team have also meant more room for product development.  In addition to being a leading developer and manufacturer of precision cutting and trimming tools, the company now also manufactures food preparation equipment for restaurants and commercial kitchens.   The company picture today:

In 2014, after decades of innovation and leadership, Mr. Bettcher generously transitioned Bettcher Industries from a family-owned operation to an employee-owned company that could be managed and grown for future generations. Company leaders reinvested in our community yet again in 2017 with upgrades to their manufacturing facilities through robotics and advanced technologies, renovations of their administrative offices and the opening of the Bettcher Innovation Center.  The Innovation Center is a multi-use facility that includes a test kitchen, demo lab and collaboration area, enabling conceptual testing, demonstrations and strategic collaboration among employees and customers .

2017 investments and success have the company on a path for growth in 2018.  As an employee-owned company with a commitment to its family roots and values, Bettcher knows its team is the key to executing growth and achieving quality objectives.  With this in mind, the company consistently reinvests in employees with relevant training, team building events and celebrations of their hard work.  In 2017, each production employee completed 80 hours of training in shop math, geometric testing and tolerance, blueprint and gage reading.  Bettcher Industries is consistently voted as a top workplace in the region.
