The peculiarities of the
American market can not be considered optimal trough the exportation
from Europe. For this reason Theis is looking for a way to manufacture
in USA. IN 1986 , Theis has been able to buy in Bristol Connecticut,
a traditional cold sheeting plant, Steel Division of the Wallace
Barnes Group inc. There fine steel stips in finishing precision
are manufactured for the car industry, springs, textiles, and tools.
Most of the special products, such as bimetal are used in the manufacturing
of saws, and industrial knives.
