spatenstich.jpgSSI Schaefer plan to concentrate innovation with the construction of a new modern test and technology designed to make development stages transparent and further expand customer orientation. In a special ‘ground-breaking’ ceremony, marking the start of construction works, Managing Directors for Schaefer Noell, the hub for the design of logistics systems, Harrie Swinkels and Rudolf Keller together with Rainer Steinbach, Head of Engineering and Architect Matthias Versbach, took part in the first workings towards laying the cornerstone.

The new trend-setting test and technology centre in Giebelstadt, Germany, will explore new technologies and integrate innovations for the development of new, customer oriented products. On an area of about 4,500 square meters, the new building will reach a height of 15 meters and double up as a venue for Schaefer’s successful automation conventions.

With a show room that will be used to present several new products, the new building will also serve as a display area for all divisions of SSI Schaefer.

“The new test and technology centre will enable us to concentrate company-wide innovation and to make the development of market-driven systems more transparent to our customers, explains Harrie Swinkels.
“This way we are meeting our customers growing demand for information and are able to give them the possibility to experience modern components of intralogistics first hand.

SSI Schaefer plan to have the test and technology center completed by the summer.
