Glass fiber core material manufacturer Spheretex GmbH recently announced that it has moved into new facilities in Neuss, Germany, as of Jan. 1, 2020.
After renting a facility for 20 years, Christoph Esser, managing director at Spheretex, says that it is a big step for the company to now have the production facility and warehouse in one facility.
“It was a big challenge to ensure the move of the complex production machines,” says Günther Müller-Kössler, operations manager at Spheretex, “but we managed perfectly!”
The company experienced a 2-month production shutdown as all of the machinery was dismantled and moved to the new facility.
