“Gardner Denver currently has over 6000 employees on six continents and approximately two-thirds of its annual revenues are to customers located outside of the United States. Therefore, in order to improve accessibility to global customers, the company’s foreign operations, investors and a broader pool of local professional human resources, management and the board of directors concluded that relocation to a major metropolitan area was necessary to the long-term growth of the company,” said Barry Pennypacker, president and CEO of Gardner Denver.
