The factory floor is 6 thousand square meters in size (4 thousand square meters of production space) and it will house various machines used for manufacturing parts made of rubber, including one of the largest injection moulding machine in Poland. Which specific elements will be produced depends on the orders put in, among others by the German and Dutch branches of the company. The range may include: membranes for wastewater treatment plants, rolls for agricultural machinery, forklift guard parts and resin casting hoses used in the manufacturing of wind turbine blades.  Plastic elements are planned to be produced in the facility in the future.

 

Construction works were carried out by Prime Construction - a company from Szczecin which applied many energy-saving solutions, such as led lighting in the process. 

 

The opening gala, which was organized on 31 March, served as an opportunity to say goodbye to the company's former managing director, Joachim Salewski, who has been replaced by Andreas Jäger, the co-owner of the concern and Vice-President of the Polish Company. Beginning form April 1, Joachim Salewski leads Parker Hannifin Autotech Composites Polska, a company that manages the Gryfino plant (acquired last year by Jäger).

 

During the gala Andreas Jäger announced that the construction of the new production floor constitutes the first stage of a three-tier investment project to be carried out in Gryfino. The company’s plan is to build a facility 46 thousand square meters in size, which will employ 500 people, but no specific dates regarding further stages of the investment have been announced so far.
