Munich - The extension of the KraussMaffei Group production plant in Slovakia is proceeding faster than planned. Production in the second assembly hall will start at the end of 2012. The extension of the production plant in China is going according to plan. The KraussMaffei Group is doubling its production capacities at both plants. The extension of the production plant in Sucany (Slovakia) is progressing very well. “Production in the second assembly hall can probably start at the end of 2012 instead of originally planned in the first quarter of 2013”, said Vladimir Boda, plant manager. The production plant in Sucany, which only came on stream in fall 2010, will also manufacture in future robots, injection molding machines in the EX series, reaction processing and part trimming machines and systems under the KraussMaffei brand and switching cabinets for injection molding machines under the Netstal brand on a production area of around 13,000 m2 (currently: 6,600 m2). At present, KraussMaffei injection molding machines in the AX series, as well as switching cabinets and molds are manufactured at this location. The extension of the production capacities at the production plant of the KraussMaffei Group in Haiyan (China) is going according to plan. The existing production area of 12,000 m2 will be increased to around 22,000 m2 by spring 2013. In addition to extending the existing production capacities for reaction process and extrusion machines and systems, the plant in Haiyan will also manufacture injection molding machines for PET applications under the Netstal and KraussMaffei brands.
