Official opening of the new warehouse building
The new high-bay warehouse at the Bieringen production plant, which had been eagerly awaited by all parties involved, was officially opened in person by the Members of the ZIEHL-ABEGG Board of Directors. From the business viewpoint the ceremony, attended by a small group of people and conducted in compliance with the current pandemic situation, heralds an important improvement in warehousing strategy for the future-orientated production process at the Bieringen plant.
New, modern safety concept for the unique technology
Die-cast rotors (FE2 owlet) up to one metre in size, cast in one single process
ECblue 132 stator bushings
ECblue 116 rotor
AC 137 rotor
With immediate effect, an automated safety and storage concept in the newly constructed high-bay warehouse, designed in accordance with the latest standards and adapted precisely to the local circumstances, will ensure maximum safety and perfect conditions for storage and ordering. This ensures the necessary protection for the products manufactured in the world’s only die-casting foundry which, among other things, produces aluminium rotor castings up to one metre in size in a single process, whilst also securing an extensive range of unfinished parts such as stator bushings and rotors for the extremely wide range of ECblue motors and AC rotors. With storage now automated and robot-assisted, everything in this plant is geared towards the future.
