Arburg lays foundations for the future

On Thursday 13 July 2017, Arburg celebrated the start of groundwork for an impressive new Training Center in Lossburg.

The new multi-storey building will provide 13,700 square metres of usable space and represents an investment of several tens of millions of euros for the company. This will bring the total usable space at the Lossburg site to 180,000 square metres.

Prior to the foundation stone-laying ceremony, Managing Partner Michael Hehl, who is responsible for plant development, commented on the significance of this additional new building: "This Training Center is a clear sign of our commitment to Lossburg as a production location and demonstrates our long-term, goal-oriented strategy."

The construction of a multi-storey Training Center means that existing and prospective Arburg customers will have an even better environment in which to learn and train. Michael Hehl explained the importance of the project: "In addition to our high-quality plastic processing machines, which are used throughout the world, our customers traditionally value our first-class services. This also includes our broad range of training courses relating to machines, application technology and service. We have trained tens of thousands of specialists over the past decades - and demand continues to grow."
