ELB-KEHREN GmbH announces an important strategic step in its ongoing commitment to competitiveness, quality, and customer service: the consolidation of its manufacturing sites in Germany.
As part of this strategic realignment, equipment manufacturing activities at the Aschaffenburg site will be discontinued and transferred to the ELB-KEHREN site in Troisdorf. The Research & Development, Sales & Service, as well as administrative departments will continue to be based in Aschaffenburg, ensuring continuity and the preservation of core expertise at the location.
This decision was taken in response to evolving global market requirements and the need to further strengthen ELB-KEHREN as a long-term partner for customers. By consolidating manufacturing activities and combining resources in Germany, a stronger, integrated site will be created. Increased flexibility, operational focus and improved cost efficiency will further improve the company's positioning in the worldwide environment. This strategic step enables ELB-KEHREN to continue delivering the high quality, reliability, and consistent performance customers and partners rely on.
“With the combined site, new opportunities are given. We believe that this is an opportunity for all of us. Keeping high quality, staying reliability, and flexibility will be important indicators for our customers,” said Dr. Ing. Markus Weiler, Managing Director of ELB-KEHREN GmbH.
Unfortunately, this strategic adjustment could not be achieved without a necessary restructuring process that included the difficult decision to reduce the workforce at the Aschaffenburg site. ELB-KEHREN recognizes the impact of this step and expresses sincere appreciation to all affected employees for their commitment and contributions.
ELB-KEHREN firmly believes that this strategic move represents a positive and necessary investment in the future of the company. With a clear focus on efficiency, innovation, and customer value, ELB-KEHREN is well positioned to meet the challenges of the modern manufacturing landscape and to continue being a reliable partner worldwide.
