The packaging machine manufacturer is currently extending its site in Lahnau to 2,310 square meters with a state-of-the-art production hall. d an affirmation of the German location", says Olaf Piepenbrock, Executive Partner of Hastamat's parent company Piepenbrock. He goes on to state that the new build is a consequence of the positive business development over the past few years and creates the basis for further growth. The building has sufficient space on the ground floor for the areas of Production, Warehouse Logistics and Quality Assurance. The upper level will house offices, meeting rooms and sanitary facilities. "The production of complete packaging lines with individual weighing, dosing and packaging systems requires a lot of space. After the demolition of our hall of roughly 1,500 m2, we are extending our site in Lahnau significantly with the construction of a production hall of roughly 2,300 m2", enthuses Michael Schulze, Managing Director of Hastamat. Short routes – efficient flow of goods The new department provides one critical advantage, Schulze emphasises: "Short routes and working on a single level make for an optimised flow of goods. That way, in future, we will be able to produce the individual packaging solutions for our customers more quickly and efficiently". Hastamat also included space-saving high racks, a modern ventilation system and self-produced electricity in the construction plan. With the new build, the installed photovoltaics system in Lahnau is being upgraded to a peak value of around 200 kilowatts. The energy consumption is 40 % of the required level – the machine manufacturer produces at least 65 % of the required electricity in regenerative processes.
