The expansion of Baumüller Dravinja d.o.o., the Slovenian subsidiary of the German drive and automation manufacturer Baumüller, is now nearly complete. In March 2023, the newly opened electrical components building will be ready for occupancy: “With this new building, we are doubling our capacities in electrical production. Cable production will also move into the new building, giving us additional space for final assembly for sheet metal production. The additional space freed up by the relocation of logistics is being allotted to sheet metal production. New machines have arrived: a punching machine, a laser cutting machine, and welding robots for TIG arc welding. This will improve the capabilities of our stainless steel processing. We have also optimized our material supply by means of expanded storage areas and three new Kardex Shuttle systems. We are investing so that we can deliver high-quality products to our customers,” reported Andreas Baumüller, Managing Partner of the Baumüller Group, at the building opening ceremony at the production site in Slovenske Konjice.
The two managing directors of Baumüller Dravinja, Helmut Hauf and Jozef Klajnsek, are pleased that the capacity expansion will make it possible to serve the increasing number of customer orders even more efficiently, thereby ensuring the successful growth of the company. The celebrations were attended by Slovenian Chamber of Foreign Trade President Dagmar von Bohnstein and Mayor of Slovenske Konjice Darko Ratajc, the management of Baumüller Dravinja, Andreas Baumüller, Managing Partner of the Baumüller Group and his mother Ursula Baumüller.
