Shaping the Future

Optimizing the material flow by synchronizing production and logistics took top priority during planning for further business development in Germany. Moreover, premises were established making it possible to install larger production machines including the necessary peripheral equipment, to be equipped for new projects with products of larger dimensions.

The planning results are impressive! A new production hall with an area of 3,700 m² will be built directly adjacent to the pre-existing production building on the company grounds. The next step will be to attach a high-bay warehouse with a height of 25 - 30 m. With an area of 1,250 m² and approx. 4,000 rack bays, it will serve for the storage of semi-finished and finished products.

Provided that the economic climate remains stable, the construction measures will start at the end of 2016 or at the beginning of 2017 respectively.
