A breeze of optimism in production

Mechanical production in Chemnitz is currently being upgraded to the latest state of the art. One of the most important new investments is in a flexible manufacturing system incorporating two Heckert HEC 800 X5 MT machining centers, which recently went into operation. The second standout feature is a Droop+Rein FOGS HD large machining center, for which a vast foundation is currently being laid. What prompted these measures? An ambitious corporate strategy.

June 2024 at the Starrag plant in Chemnitz, Hall 4: This will be the future focal point of mechanical production for medium and large components, which make a decisive contribution to the precision and durability of various Starrag machining centers. It is currently being upgraded to the highest technical level at a cost of tens of millions of euros.

“ With the FMS, we can signifi cantly increase our throughput and increase added value at the site.”
