10 million euro invested: Elektror opens a new production hall in Waghäusel

Waghäusel, 31.10.2014 – The Elektror airsystems gmbh opened a new production hall for blowers and side channel blowers today. The company invested around 10 million euros in the building extension and its machines and facilities.

The Building extension stands for growth

The production hall, approximately 3,600 square meters will be used for the growing production of low to high pressure blowers, conveying blowers, side channel blowers and the new series of stainless steel blowers.

In order to be prepared for increasing demand, the hall was planned to be able to extend step by step. In Waghäusel the production area could be four times bigger in the future. With the new extension building, an increase in production up to 30% can be reached in the following years.

The project was developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA. Requirements for the construction were the optimization of logistic routes, efficient production, employee-friendly workplaces and sustainable energy management.

„Green“ production hall saves energy

Elektror and the new production hall possess an example of environmental protection:

A photovoltaic system on the roof of the hall brings electric generation. The hall is connected to a combined heating and power station. Additionally electricity saving LED illumination adjusts automatically to the natural light outside.
