New Plant Expands Ballscrew Capacity

August Steinmeyer has opened a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Albstadt, Germany. The new part of the plant adds over 4000m2 to the Steinmeyer site. The shop floor area has been increased by more than 3250m2. The new building also houses a new goods in and logistics area of 750m2.

The decision to extend the existing factory was taken after five years of double-digit percentage growth and increasing workflow problems.

'Demand for our products has continuously increased and we have simply outgrown the existing manufacturing facility', says Alexander Beck, International Sales Manager and co-owner of August Steinmeyer. 'With the new plant online we are now able to make the quality products our customers expect and are working towards reducing lead times once all of the new production capacity becomes available'.

50 new jobs have been created at the site increasing the overall number of Steinmeyer employees in Germany to 400.

'We make precision products and need a highly skilled and motivated workforce', says Beck.'In addition to employing more people we have also introduced flexible working practises which allow us to keep production running on weekends and public holidays if necessary'.
