IMA Klessmann GmbH expands production capacity in Lubbecke, Germany

IMA Klessmann GmbH started with the construction of an additional production hall at the beginning of October 2016. The new production facilities with a total area of 3,328 m² will serve at the full-range supplier solely for the assembly, installation and initial commissioning of fully automatic digital facilities for batch size 1 production and should be ready for use in June 2017.

"The units are becoming bigger and bigger and our existing production areas simply do not offer enough space to set up a complete system," says Bernhard Berger, CEO at IMA Klessmann. "In the new hall we will be able to fully install the units and put them into operation in future."

The free-standing hall meets the very latest industrial standards. A heating system with heat recovery was installed and the roof was prepared to take a photovoltaic system. In addition to the area that is purely for production, there is a supervisor’s office, a day room and sanitary facilities for the staff, plus sanitary facilities for visitors and a meeting room with a view of the hall.
