Hellweg Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is building a new production shop at its Roetgen headquarters in the Eifel region of Germany.
The investment will provide around 500 m² of additional manufacturing space by August 2020.
Hellweg is also planning a substantial expansion of its administrative offices in the coming months.
Mark Hellweg, managing director, said: "We urgently need the extra space to accelerate handling of the large volume of orders which we have won since K2019 where our Smart Control machine controller was a major hit. We have also been seeing a trend toward large and complex machines. In future, we will be able to assemble and test these in our own facilities and so ensure trouble-free commissioning on our customers' premises."
“2019 saw us achieve the highest sales figures in the company's history. So expansion had already been on the cards for some time. Of course, the pace of development has slackened off during lockdown, but if things continue at their present level we will be able to celebrate record results at the end of this year too."
