Lễ động thổ cho một tương lai thành công: NETZSCH đặt nền móng cho công việc sáng tạo tại Waldkraiburg
Vào thứ Hai, ngày 12, một kỷ nguyên mới đã bắt đầu tại NETZSCH với lễ động thổ chính thức cho việc xây dựng tòa nhà công ty mới trên khuôn viên nhà máy tại Geretsrieder Straße, Waldkraiburg. “Đây là một ngày đáng nhớ trong lịch sử của NETZSCH”, ông Felix Kleinert, Giám đốc Điều hành, phát biểu với sự hào hứng. Với tổng vốn đầu tư 50 triệu euro, một nhà máy sản xuất và lắp ráp hiện đại cùng kho hàng tự động hóa hoàn toàn sẽ được xây dựng trên diện tích 11.000 m². Khu phức hợp văn phòng mới, sáng tạo sẽ được đặt trên mái của nhà máy. Công trình dự kiến hoàn thành vào ngày 30 tháng 6 năm 2022. Việc tập trung ba nhà máy tại một địa điểm sẽ giúp tăng cường sự hợp tác giữa các bộ phận tại NETZSCH.
In addition to the production and assembly hall, the multi-storey industrial building with 11,000 m² includes a 4,100 m² office complex placed on top of the roof. The modern office landscape is characterized by bright, large and open office spaces. The hall below is completed by a high-bay fully automated warehouse that will be home to all pump components. “This investment has enormous potential for the future. I'm really excited about what is being created here”, states Moritz Netzsch, one of the NETZSCH Group shareholder. The new multi-storey building is being constructed as a solid structure to guarantee the necessary fire and noise protection in the building construction.
NETZSCH has always been committed to environmental protection and sustainability so that the responsible use of a wide variety of resources has the highest priority in the new building. Groundwater is used for both heating and cooling, and the building's electricity is generated using photovoltaic systems. All technical systems in the building are operated with heat and energy recovery as far as possible. Fossil fuels are avoided as much as possible.
In the course of this construction project, the existing buildings in Geretsrieder Straße will also be renovated and reconstructed according to the latest standards. Finally, all the plants will be merged into the new NETZSCH Campus. Nearly 650 employees will then be located here and find ultra-modern workplaces equipped with the latest technology, both in the production and assembly area and in the office world.
Cooperative working with the city of Waldkraiburg
The basis for the successful plant relocation was a constructive cooperation with the city of Waldkraiburg. To create the new plant construction's necessary infrastructure, NETZSCH needed additional 216 parking spaces on the Geretsrieder Straße site. The resulting eastward expansion of the area was made possible by the town of Waldkraiburg. For this purpose, the footpath leading from Daimler Street to Neutraublinger Street was made available. However, public use is still possible. The former tree population has since been reforested by NETZSCH. The planned amalgamation of plants 1, 2 and 3 thus became feasible.
The planning and implementation of this construction project, which is unique in the company's history, is led by Managing Director Jens Heidkötter. He is supported by the project managers Ralf Baldauf and Jakob Bartinger and the overall construction manager Martin Kalleder. The decision on the investment of 50 million euros represents the most significant single decision in the company's almost 150-year history. NETZSCH is thus clearly committed to the Waldkraiburg site and also to Germany as the core competence centre for NETZSCH Pumpen & Systeme GmbH. The motto is: “In the region, for the region”, notes Kleinert.
This investment forms the core of the so-called “NETZSCH Pumps Global Operations Strategy”, a worldwide investment phase lasting several years. Further investments will be made at various locations worldwide in the coming years to push ahead with global expansion. Factory expansions in the USA, Brazil, China and India are to be driven forward with this. Furthermore, in addition to the assembly centre already operating successfully in Anting near Shanghai, further assembly centres will be opened in South Africa, Australia, Thailand, Russia, Mexico and Indonesia. All locations will work together in a digitally supported network to achieve even greater customer orientation.
With the new factory building and the various investments of the “NETZSCH Pumps Global Operations Strategy”, NETZSCH intends to further expand its global market leadership. “Our goal is to further improve communication as well as cooperation by merging the plants in Waldkraiburg to reduce lead times and remain the top supplier on the market”, Heidkötter shows his determination. A pump concept that is individually tailored to the needs of the single customer at the highest technical level will also be ensured for the future.
