MULTIVAC opens €15m facility for slicing solutions
The MULTIVAC Group has opened its new €15 million, 4700 m2 facility for slicing solutions in Buchenau, Germany, after a construction period of around two years.
The company has been developing and designing slicers for the food industry at its Buchenau site since 2017. Following strong growth in its slicing business unit, the new building will now expand the current capacity.
“We have built up a range of MULTIVAC slicing equipment in record time, and this comprehensive range includes all output categories. Thanks to the new Buchenau site, we can now react even more flexibly to our customers’ requirements, as well as providing yet more complete lines as tailored solutions for food processing and packaging,” said Dr Tobias Richter, Director and CSO of the MULTIVAC Group.
The building complex comprises a Customer and Application Center, as well as production areas and warehouse facilities. As part of the building’s sustainable infrastructure, a number of measures have been taken to reduce greenhouse gases: the heating for the building is provided by air-heat exchangers combined with a photovoltaic system, and this is assisted by the waste heat from the air compressors, so that no fossil-fuel energy is used.
