Multivac is investing �35 million in a new slicer unit
The new facility will extend over a surface area of more than 17,000 square meters and it will have also 180 office workstations as well as conference and function rooms and also a company restaurant extended over two floors. The project will be completed in 2020.
“The new building complex is designed as an Application Center for our Slicing Solutions Business Unit, which is now seeing very encouraging development in our new business sector. In future automated packaging lines will be commissioned here as well,” explains Hans-Joachim Boekstegers, CEO Multivac. “We have successively expanded our product range in recent years to include process equipment upstream and downstream of the packaging procedure. By founding the Slicer Business Unit, we have taken an important strategic step in the direction of 'Better Processing'.”
The company announced that the new facility will offer a range of services, which will include sample production and machine demonstrations, as well as a wide range of training programs for the MULTIVAC slicers and slicer lines.
“We have designed the Application Center in such a way, that our customers will find themselves in an environment, which reflects the real conditions in their own production sites,” says Hans-Joachim Boekstegers. “There, our customers will be able to experience the complete process chain live: this will extend from the demonstration of the various slicers handling a wide range of products, through to the presentation of different loading solutions downstream of the slicer, and right up to the actual packaging procedure itself. It will be possible to carry out individual trials with customers' own products as well as testing the slicing solutions for feasibility, output, return on investment, give-away and other critical factors.”
Multivac Group has approximately 5,600 employees worldwide, with some 2,100 based at its headquarters in Wolfertschwenden. The production site in the Allgäu region of Germany currently comprises more than 72,000 square meters in total. In the early part of 2018 new production areas for the Traysealer Business Unit were completed, as well as additional office space for the Control Technology department, covering a total of around 4,000 square meters.
