Homag, the global supplier of integrated solutions for production in the woodworking sector, after a year made complicated by “Covid-19” has launched the largest investment program in its history.
In fact, over the next three years, it will invest between 60 and 80 million euros in the modernization of the Schopfloch headquarters and another 15 million euros in a new plant in Poland.
A customer center, new office buildings and a logistics center connected to the production site will be built in Schopfloch. “We have opted for a sustainable solution. We had to renovate the buildings and so we chose to invest in a complete modernization”, said Ralf W. Dieter, ceo of Homag. The declared goal is to have a high availability of spare parts and lean and efficient logistics processes for the supply of the plant and customers. With this in mind, the new logistics center will also replace the remaining external warehouses.
New buildings will also be built in Poland, where the Homag group has over 700 employees. “The Polish market has been growing for years and we have reached maximum capacity at our headquarters. Furthermore, considering the importance of the Polish plant in our global production network, we have decided to invest in this new plant in Środa, construction of which will begin very soon“,concluded Dieter.
