Investment in the future: Largest construction project in HBC history nearing completion.
The largest construction project in HBC's history is close to a successful completion. In the last few months, a new building with a total area of around 5,500 square meters, spread over three floors plus basement, was built at our production site in Crailsheim. The new building enables us to significantly expand our production capacities.
Our mechanical production is now already working on two levels of the new building. Here, experienced teams take care of the production of our high-quality operating elements, batteries, and all other mechanical components from HBC’s own production in a spacious, modern environment. The upper floor will house offices and meeting rooms.
As part of the project, HBC's entire logistics area, including the main warehouse at the production site, will also be restructured. For this purpose, an additional small logistics building was built. In the newly created areas, the teams now use the latest logistics technology to ensure the quick and efficient supply of materials to the production areas as well as smooth incoming and outgoing goods. In addition, the new, optimized logistics area is well-prepared to support growth at other HBC locations in Germany and abroad.
For example, a new production and office building is currently being built at our location in Stollberg / Ore Mountains (Germany). Instead of the previous facilities in the nearby Zwoenitz commercial center, it will house all functions of HBC-radiomatic GmbH in the Ore Mountains area - including customer service, production, and even software development.
For us, the expansion projects are crucial investments in the future and important steps towards being able to continue to offer our customers first-class products at attractive delivery times in the future.
