The turning of the first sod marked the beginning of the construction of a new production facility and administrative building that Baldwin Germany expects to occupy in the late summer of 2006.

The turning of the first sod marked the beginning of the construction of a new production facility and administrative building that Baldwin Germany expects to occupy in the late summer of 2006 The new premises will be erected in Friedberg's fledgling business-park, four and a half miles from Baldwin's current site in Augsburg-Lechhausen

In a brief speech to mark the occasion, Karl S Puhringer, the president and chief operating officer of the Baldwin Technology Company and managing director of Baldwin Germany, welcomed the realisation of the long-scheduled project, which will finally put an end to an unsatisfactory situation that has dragged on for years.

Baldwin's unbroken growth, along with the limited scope for expansion, forced the company to spread its production and administrative departments around five different buildings on the present site.

The new location will enable all operations to be efficiently combined.

Puhringer said: "The modern infrastructure that will take shape here will allow us to strengthen our market position as a leading international manufacturer of press accessory and ancillary equipment in a sustainable way, not just here in Germany but throughout Europe and indeed worldwide.

Our employees can look forward to an attractive and inspiring work environment.

We also have plans to set up a Baldwin European Engineering Centre at the new premises." Gerald A Nathe, Baldwin's chairman and chief executive officer voiced his conviction that Baldwin has made the right decision in renewing its commitment to southern Germany: "This region is the ideal location for us in terms of OEMs, direct end customers and suppliers.

The dedicated, excellently qualified and professionally experienced people that Baldwin needs to maintain its impressive development are available on the spot.

The new building will help rationalise all company processes, benefiting Baldwin with the strongest possible foundation for quantitative and qualitative growth." Around 6,000 square metres of production space and 2,700 square metres of office space will have been created by the time the project reaches completion.

The offices will be distributed between a series of 'islands' integrated in the production shop and a five-story administrative building.

If the 15,700 square metre site should prove to be inadequate, Baldwin has also taken out an option on an additional 4,000 sqaure metres area, which will be kept in reserve for future expansion.
