Thomas Lorenz relocates to larger production facility

 

Thomas Lorenz Industrietechnik GmbH & Co. KG (Munich, Germany), manufacturer of BMC, CIC and SMC glass fiber-reinforced composite components, is relocating to a larger, 60,000-square-meter facility in Spenge, Germany. The company has been moving in stages since the beginning of this year, and says that 25,000 square meters of the molding plant are currently available for use.

“With our high-performance 350- to 2,000-ton presses, we can make a huge range of molded parts, from small to enormous,” says Thomas Lorenz, CEO. “To optimize the logistics processes for this, we decided to move to a larger site.”

The new facility in Spenge is equipped for future challenges in a host of industries, including construction and infrastructure, home appliances and automotive, the company says.

 

As experts in thermosetting plastics, the company serves as a contract manufacturer as well as a supplier, and advises customers based on its years of experience. The Lorenz team accompanies customers from the initial idea, to component design to make best use of material qualities, to FEM calculation and moldmaking, to final assembly and shipping to the client or end customer, and the design department conducts feasibility simulations.

“Our experienced engineers assist from the first mold drawing through to production and logistics,” says Lorenz. “One of our specialties is the development of special solutions, such as for plastic components in combination with concrete, or completely new materials tailored to specific product requirements.”
