FDM started a new production plant

A company of the Piovan group and a worldwide supplier of material handling solutions for the extrusion process, FDM announced the move to a new production facility located in Troisdorf - North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - inside the industrial park called “Airport Gewerbepark Junkersring”.

The new production space of 1,900 sqm is twice the former building in Koenigswinter, and is operational starting July 1, 2015, with possible future expansions, as the new factory arises on a ground of 6,000sqm. With this important move, FDM is able to improve both its engineering services and systems supply, by reducing the lead times and leveraging further capacity to handle increased volumes. This investment is evidence of a company on the move strategically investing in people, tools and equipment to produce feeding systems for pellets, recycled materials and powder, gravimetric dosing systems, complete material handling systems for the PVC treatment, recycling and compounds.

Guido Faust, FDM General Manager has commented: “This expansion of our production site is driven by two basic assets to us: the unwavering commitment to meeting our customers’ needs and the people who work with us, whose knowledge and skills are at the base of our continuous development. This new production facility is the result of our efforts to further optimize the manufacturing activities, by concentrating them on a higher performance factory, so to guarantee increased productivity, efficiency and sustainability. Moreover, the new plant, designed according environmentally sustainable criteria, ensures a better working environment for our personnel”.
