The upward extension of internal machining manufacturing sees the ceiling height of one of Hermle’s oldest production facilities rising from 5.00 m to 12.50 m. This is necessary in order to accommodate ever larger production plants. The first step involves creating a new building envelope over the existing halls 6, 8a and 11, a feat that will be accomplished in just three weeks during the 2016 company break.
The following months will be used for installation work and the implementation of technical systems (air conditioning, electrical wiring, compressed air pipes, chip disposal, etc.). It is planned to complete these tasks by the summer of 2017 and to remove the old building sections (which up until this point will continue to protect production processes) during the 2017 summer holidays. This construction phase will continue without interrupting production. Extensive foundation works are also currently being carried out for a new large-scale machining centre for internal machining manufacturing.
