On June 23 last, the new production facility of Brückner, the world market leader in dry finishing machines for textiles and technical textiles, was officially opened in Tittmoning, Bavaria. Regina Brückner, the company owner, inaugurated the new, generously dimensioned production plant in the presence of Dr. Peter Ramsauer, former Minister of Transport, and 800 specially invited guests.
In her address, Regina Brückner said: “Our old factory simply became too small. Increased incoming orders and ever-increasing demands on machine sizes and delivery dates were the reason for planning a new plant in 2014. We were not able to start construction until November 2016, as many hurdles in the approval process and with regard to nature conservation had to be overcome in advance. With the new plant with 25,000 m² of production space and a spacious office wing, we will continue to meet the high expectations of our customers in the future. The possibility of producing components with a height of up to 12 m and a working width of up to 8.80 m offers us great potential for the future. Our employees are also pleased about the new, more spacious workplaces, more effective logistics and more powerful lifting gear. With a large number of new, highly automated processing machines, we are in a position to manufacture and supply even larger machines as before, and we will also be able to increase our delivery volume and significantly shorten delivery times.”
She also explained the many advantages of the new plant and presented details of the highly automated and efficiently organized production: the new modern CNC machine tools, the additional welding robots and the new highlight of the plant, as well as the highly automated powder coating and wet coating system.
She emphasized that the installation and commissioning times can be further reduced, thanks to the significantly improved lifting, transport and assembly options. The now ceremonially opened new plant in Tittmoning is another forward-looking step of Brückner to reposition itself in the world market for the finishing of textiles and technical textiles as a system supplier with great future potential.
Dr. Peter Ramsauer emphasized in his speech the importance of the manufacturing industry in Germany and expressed his joy that Brückner, the leading manufacturer of textile machines, is so clearly committed to the German location and does not transfer jobs abroad. He congratulated Brückner on the successful move to the new plant and stressed the importance of such tradition-conscious family companies as Brückner for the German industry and the location Bavaria in particular.
The celebrations were preceded by a Brückner agency conference in which more than 90 company representatives worldwide were informed and trained about new technical developments.
