WITH a grand opening, Kabelschlepp celebrated the
reopening of its enlarged facility in Nové Zámky, Slovakia.
The plant premises have been enlarged to about 19,000m2
and in just eight months of construction the production
facility including storage capacities has been extended by
nearly 4,000m2.
This investment significantly benefits the economic future of
this location. Not least, the expansion secures more than
200 existing jobs and creates new ones.
“Slovakia is a reliable and stable partner within the EU,” said
Michael Diebel, vice president conveyor and protection
systems at Kabelschlepp. “We have been investing here to
deliver competitive and reliable high-quality products and
intelligent solutions to our customers.”
Since 1976, Kabelschlepp products have been manufactured
in Slovakia, and as of 1990 under its own subsidiary.
Expanding the production capacity means that the company
continues its strategy of consistently growing the Slovakian
site, also within the Tsubaki Group.
Primarily conveyor and protection systems for the global
machine tool industry are manufactured at the location in
Nové Zámky.
“The plant expansion substantially increases our production
capacity and strengthens our position within the European
strategy,” said Dušan Strašík, managing director of
Kabelschlepp Systemtechnik spol sro.
“Combined with our state-of-the-art machinery we are able to
meet our customers’ demands now even more appropriately.”
The prelude to the festivities was a dinner in Bratislava,
during which keynote speeches were heard from a board
member of the German-Slovakian Chamber of Commerce
and Industry as well as from the Director General for
Economy and Trade of the Slovakian Ministry of Economics.
This was followed by the actual opening ceremony in Nové
Zámky on the next day.

The industry publication for round,
shaped profile, wire rope and electrical
resistance wire has been launched by
Alloy Wire International, and is proving
a big hit with customers.
The company used its recent
appearance at wire 2016 to showcase
its new brochure, an 84-page
publication listing more than 60
different types of exotic nickel alloys,
including Inconel®, Nimonic®, Hastelloy
and Ni-Span C902®.
This brochure provides specification
data sheets on each alloy, detailing
useful information on post heat
treatment guidance and mechanical
properties, both useful to customers
when designing wire forms.
More than 300 copies have been
picked up or sent out to existing and
potential customers from the
automotive, aerospace, defence, oil
and gas, medical and nuclear
sectors.
The glossy A4 publication is heading
across the world too, with
destinations ranging from Istanbul,
Nairobi, Sydney and Shanghai.
“The Alloy Wire Technical Brochure is
always very well received, but this
year it has surpassed our
expectations,” explained Mark
Venables, managing director.
“A number of customers have been
waiting for the brochure to be
produced as it gives them such a
definitive range of information on all
of the alloys we supply in one place.”
Alloy Wire, which is celebrating its
70 th year in business this year,
supplies 4,000 customers in 15
sectors worldwide in the wire
manufacturing market.
The company has recently added
high performance alloys Nitronic 50
(0.025 to 5.50mm) and Super Duplex
(0.025 to 6.50mm) to its extended
range and can now draw from 21mm
in many different alloys.
