Short production routes in Klosterreichenbach and more office space in Wernigerode are the goals of these construction measures.
When the demand for orders increases so dramatically that production reaches its limits in terms of capacity and the electrical department urgently needs more space to accommodate the increase in personnel, the only viable solution is to build and expand the existing production and office premises. Last year, the machine manufacturer Kallfass decided to go all out and invest and build in both locations.
The production area in Klosterreichenbach will be increased by approximately 600 m². An L-shaped extension to the existing production premises facilitates the improved integration of individual production stages in a direct time sequence. Routes are shortened and the entire production facility made more efficient as a result. Building commenced on 10 May. Planned completion is the end of this / start of next year.

New offices in Wernigerode
New offices are urgently needed at the plant in Wernigerode, Saxony-Anhalt. The production area was continually increased in recent years, but the offices have not been changed since 1992, even though the workforce has tripled in this period. Enlarging of the administrative premises by around 160m² to a total of 480m² is planned. The first implementation stage will see the creation of new parking spaces, as the extension will be erected on the original car park. Work on this stage has already commenced. Enrico Goldhahn, Plant Manager in Wernigerode, looks forward to completion of this extension by the beginning of 2023.
Both extensions represent an important step in accommodating the growing demand in future.
