ARBURG Opens New Customer Centre in Lossburg
In mid-March, Arburg officially handed its new Customer Centre in Lossburg over to its customers. Following the opening ceremony with the companies involved in the construction, the new building was inaugurated by German and international customers. Around 600 guests in total made the most of this opportunity to see the centre’s many possibilities and view the new building and its energy-efficient facility management.
The centre was officially opened by Arburg Managing Partners Eugen Hehl, Karl Hehl, Juliane Hehl, Michael Hehl and Renate Keinath. Thorsten Kühmann, Managing Director of the German Machinery & Plant Manufacturers Association (VDMA) for plastics and rubber processing machinery, and William Carteaux, President of the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI), were among the guests of honour at the opening event and addressed their greetings to the proprietor families. Both speakers congratulated Arburg on the new Customer Centre and underlined the importance of this investment for the future.
In his speech, Michael Hehl, Spokesperson for the Arburg Management, presented the new building and its highlights. At the same time, he emphasised the fact that Arburg had not simply built for itself but, above all, for its customers. “In our new, spacious premises, our aim is to provide existing and potential customers with even better support in future,” he said. For this very reason, the heart of the 10,100 square-metre new building is the Customer Centre. Across an area of 2,100 square metres, it offers space for over 30 injection moulding machines. There, customers can see all Allrounder series covering the entire clamping force range from 125 to 5,000 kN, complex production cells and a broad range of applications. All this is joined by three separate areas for clean room, powder and production technology. In this way, all visitors can experience the current Arburg product range ‘in the flesh’ and perform comprehensive tests as well.
