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 additional
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 of 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.
