As part of an official ceremony, the Directors of MULTIVAC Hans-Joachim Boekstegers (CEO), Guido Spix (CTO and COO) and Christian Traumann (CFO) today turned the first spadeful of earth for the construction of a new building complex in Wolfertschwenden. It is intended primarily for the new Slicer Business Unit. The floor space of more than 17,000 square meters will also create 180 high-quality office workstations as well as conference and function rooms, which will be capable of being used very flexibly. The investment amounts to around 35 million euros. Completion is planned for 2020.
“The new building complex is designed as an Application Center for our Slicing Solutions Business Unit, which is now seeing very encouraging development in our new business sector. In future automated packaging lines will be commissioned here as well,” explains Hans-Joachim Boekstegers. “We have successively expanded our product range in recent years to include process equipment upstream and downstream of the packaging procedure. By founding the Slicer Business Unit, we have taken an important strategic step in the direction of 'Better Processing'.”
