Prolyte Group, renowned manufacturer
of trussing and staging systems, is proud to announce that it has just
inaugurated its new, purpose-built factory in Piatra Olt, Romania. By opening
this ultra-modern manufacturing location, Prolyte reaffirms its vanguard
position.
Prolyte started to translocate all its manufacturing facilities
to Romania as part of a long-term plan in 2010. The commissioning of the new
factory is the final and most important phase of this plan, consolidating all
its European manufacturing capacity into a 5.000m2 facility, with expansion
room till 16.000m2.
The
new production facility is accommodated with brand new automated production
equipment, new welding jigs and state of the art product lines. In addition,
the building contains industry-leading employee welfare and environmental
systems, as well as an in-house training facility for welding personnel.
The complete bespoke factory, including all equipment,
procedures and personnel has obtained a EN1090 certification in the highest
execution class III and is further ISO 3834-2 certified by the International
Institute of Welding.
The total group manufacturing capacity will grow by 250%, which
is vital for the continued world wide sales expansion.
Lambert
Bouwmeester, Prolyte Group CEO, comments: “Prolyte has always been typified as
market leader in production technology, which underpins our quality promise. We
have pioneered some production firsts, such as automated jigging and robotized
welding, these innovations will continue in our new factory”.
Mihai Hlihor, Prolyte Group COO, continues:” It’s very important
to us to invest in Europe and to assure our customers that we have the most
efficient production facility, meeting our exacting standards. We’re very proud
to have achieved this in such a short time span”.
Prolyte is confident that the new facility will cement its
position as market leader in terms of volume, quality and global network reach,
as well as giving a solid foundation for its continued international expansion.
The
new factory is up and running as of January 1st 2016. The official opening is
planned to be somewhere in spring, taking into account the, sometimes harsh,
weather conditions in Romania during wintertime.
