Arburg introduces the Golden Electric series

On 15 March, Arburg welcomed customers from around the world at the international opening of its new assembly hall. A major surprise was prepared for the roughly 550 guests at this event in the form of the spectacular world premiere of the new electric Golden Electric machine series. The highlights of the series were presented by the new managing director sales, Gerhard Böhm, jointly with his predecessor, Helmut Heinson, whose retirement was also officially celebrated at the event.

The reason for the event, held on the eve of the Technology Days, which were attended by about 7000 visitors, was the opening of the new assembly hall, which adds 18,600 square metres to the total floorspace available at the Arburg headquarters in Lossburg, bringing it to around 165,000 square metres. The eight-figure investment in the new building underscores the company's commitment to its local region and to environmental protection, as well as its strong customer focus. "Thanks to your loyalty to Arburg and your trust in our technology, production here in Lossburg was practically bursting at the seams", said Michael Hehl, managing partner and spokesperson of Arburg. He explained that this was due to the continuously rising demand for machines with complex equipment, large Allrounder injection moulding machines with clamping forces up to 5,000 kN and customised turnkey solutions. "The fact that the new assembly hall is so busy clearly demonstrates that demand for our products remains as strong as ever", Hehl added.

Concurrently with the opening of the new assembly hall, the world première of the new electric Golden Electric series took place. After an impressive presentation on how the new "golden" Arburg machines will make customer wishes come true, the curtain was lifted and an Allrounder 470 E Golden Electric was presented in a live demonstration. During the development of the new Golden Electric series, which comes in four sizes with a clamping force range from 600 to 2,000 kN, Arburg has consistently implemented the successful recipe of the hydraulic Golden Edition entry-level series for electric machines. The new electric Allrounders are designed to meet customer demand for high-performance entry-level machines for the precise, energy-efficient production of quality parts. Thanks to the use of standardised components, they feature proven high-quality Arburg technology "made in Germany" at an attractive price/performance ratio.

The premiere of the new series has coincided with the first official appearance by Gerhard Böhm, who is taking over from Helmut Heinson as managing director sales on April 1. Jointly with his predecessor, he took to the stage to explain the technical details and customer benefits of the Golden Electric series. Helmut Heinson was given an official retirement send-off by Arburg's managing partners. Speaking on behalf of the management team, Juliane Hehl thanked him for his constructive work over the past eleven years and in recognition of this, Helmut Heinson received the Arburg logo in gold from Eugen Hehl, who established this award for exceptional service to the company.
