Kautex Maschinenbau has completed its 5,000 m2 assembly hall at its Bonn headquarters after a construction period of just nine months. The plant will mainly be used for the assembly of KBB-series all-electric packaging machines as well as KSB machines for blow moulding applications in the automotive industry. The expansion has also created 80 new office roles. The official inauguration ceremony took place on November 9th, with many guests from the worlds of politics and business in attendance. The speakers included district mayor and member of parliament, Guido Déus, as well as Victoria Appelbe, Head of the Economic Development Office.
Olaf Weiland, CEO of Kautex Maschinenbau, said: “We are delighted with the steadily growing demand for our high-performance and energy-efficient extrusion blow moulding machines for the packaging sector. In the past, we mainly focused on large blow moulding machines for the automotive segment. More recently, however, we have seen considerable parallel development of our packaging machine business. As demand here remains high, we are in urgent need of more production space. The plant expansion will allow us to increase our output even further, which will result in shorter lead times for our customers.”
