FDM is establishing its new premises in Troisdorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, in the Airport Gewerbepark Junkersring industrial park.
The new production space of 1,900 m sq is twice the former building in Koenigswinter, and will be operational starting July 1st 2015, with possible future expansions, as the new factory arises on a ground of 6,000 m sq.
With this important move, FDM will be able to improve both its engineering services and systems supply, by reducing the lead times and leveraging further capacity to handle increased volumes. This investment is evidence of a company on the move, investing in people, tools and equipment to produce feeding systems for pellets, recycled materials and powder, gravimetric dosing systems, complete material handling systems for the PVC treatment, recycling and compounds.
Guido Faust, FDM General Manager said: "This expansion of our production site is driven by two basic assets to us: the unwavering commitment to meeting our customers’ needs and the people who work with us, whose knowledge and skills are at the base of our continuous development. This new production facility is the result of our efforts to further optimise the manufacturing activities, by concentrating them on a higher performance factory, so to guarantee increased productivity, efficiency and sustainability. Moreover, the new plant, designed according environmentally sustainable criteria, will ensure a better working environment for our personnel."
