The new production facilities with a total area of 3,328 m² will serve at the full-range supplier solely for the assembly, installation and initial commissioning of fully automatic digital facilities for batch size 1 production and should be ready for use in June 2017.
The well-filled order book and the desire of customers for the initial commissioning at IMA of the complete production facility that had been ordered made it urgently necessary to expand the production area.
CEO at IMA Klessmann, Bernhard Berger says, “The units are becoming bigger and bigger and our existing production areas simply do not offer enough space to set up a complete system. In the new hall we will be able to fully install the units and put them into operation in future.”
Customers profit from shorter delivery times, a faster start of production and improved product quality and a greater degree of acceptance by the machine operators. For IMA this shortens the routes and working time, because all the experts, materials and technology are available at the factory.
Bernhard Berger further explains the choice of location as follows: “The engineering know-how and the considerable experience of our staff at the Lübbecke location in the development and construction of complex units and systems is simply immense. We cannot and do not want to do without it. For that reason there is simply no alternative to the Lübbecke location.”
The free-standing hall meets the very latest industrial standards. A heating system with heat recovery was installed and the roof was prepared to take a photovoltaic system. In addition to the area that is purely for production, there is a supervisor’s office, a day room and sanitary facilities for the staff, plus sanitary facilities for visitors and a meeting room with a view of the hall.
