WEINIG one of the leading technology providers in the woodworking industry moves to new location, for better engagement and growth. WEINIG subsidiary Raimann Holzoptimierung GmbH & Co. KG moved from its previous production site in Freiburg to its new premises in Malterdingen. Located just 17 km from the previous site and two minutes from the nearest train station and autobahn access, the new, fully modernised production facility is designed to accommodate further growth in production and staff.
The subsidiary of the leading technology provider for the solid wood and panel processing industry has been firmly established in the region around Freiburg for more than 150 years. Raimann’s relocation from Freiburg to Malterdingen, 17 km to the north, was announced as early as last summer. It has now been completed over the turn of the year.
Not only the machines and office space have been relocated. Due to the closeness of the new site, the entire workforce has also been retained and has supported the move. Sven Niedermüller, product manager for the cutting (ripping) area, says he and the other employees were pleased with the change and the resulting opportunities. Firstly, it gives them a long-term perspective for and with the company, and secondly, the move to renovated and refurbished buildings with ergonomic workstations brought a very welcome upgrade to the working environment.
The move marked the start of a comprehensive modernization concept that goes far beyond the building infrastructure. The company has initiated the move towards paperless production and is working on various “adjusting screws” for a more ecologically sustainable industry.
Raimann has set further growth as a goal. Various production areas, such as band saw assembly, have been given their own line in Malterdingen to best serve current and future market demand. To achieve this, the company is also seeking to expand its workforce.
