Germany – Prompted by port facilities and recyclers moving towards larger loading equipment for more efficient throughput, material handler manufacturer Sennebogen is to expand the production and testing hub at its headquarters in Straubing, Germany, by some 35 000 m². The project includes a new 6700 m² assembly and paint facility.
‘We have seen increased demand for high-capacity machines, so this investment shows that the factory will be ready to support future projects,’ comments the company’s president Constantino Lannes. The factory expansion will be completed in two construction phases.
The first phase is already under way and involves a paved surface south of the current premises to provide a spacious shipping area for machinery and components. It will also be the site for technical approval and testing of new equipment. During the second phase, starting by the end of 2016, a new assembly and paint facility will be built.
The expansion includes the plant’s quality control area and will feature a section dedicated to customising machines for special customer requirements.
