The ground-breaking ceremony for the new production facilities of Lenzing Technik's new division – sheet metal technology – was held on 5 December. The new plant will provide jobs for about 60 staff members.

The new and highly automated center for high-tech processing of sheet metal will be located at Pichlwangerstrassse in Lenzing, right next to SML and Lenzing Plastics. Construction work will be completed by the middle of 2007. A production area of approximately 54,000 square feet will provide jobs for about 60 staff members.

The new business section will use laser cutting, punching, bending and robot-welding applications to provide customers from a variety of industries, such as plant engineering, automotive and medical, with high-quality sheet metal products.

A striking feature is the high degree of automation that is ensured by robot technology and the fully automated high-rise rack system that provides the production units with raw materials and removes the finished products by self-actuation.

Sustained Growth
Helmut Aigner, Managing Director of Lenzing Technik says: "Lenzing Technik's development is sustained and positive. The current project is one more step in the steady continuation of our growth strategy. Sheet metal technology is a perfect complement to our existing divisions, it rounds off our portfolio of products and services in an excellent manner."

The comprehensive product range of Lenzing Technik is serviced by eight divisions, closely matching the needs of the market. Additionally, our extensive network of representatives and offices ensures a permanent global presence.

Lenzing Technik Robotics is the Austrian center for the distribution, technology and service of Fanuc robots.
