Larger plant for larger motors
At the new motor plant of Menzel Elektromotoren , which is now fully operational in Hennigsdorf , near Berlin , Germany , the Company looks forward to a bumper year with even larger motor production . Moving to the new site with a total area of 24,000 m ², the electric motor manufacturer increases its floor space and capacities , optimizes the factory layout for an efficient production flow and is planning to create additional jobs . The crane capacities will be increased to 80 tons and the entire shop floor will be accessible via two crane levels , which will bring significant logistical advantages .
In recent years , MENZEL has seen a growing demand for larger , more complex drive systems with a variety of auxiliary equipment such as transformers , converters , controllers and starters . The new test facilities are tailored to this need . For example , the area for load testing of large machines and generators has been significantly enhanced to cater for the largest frame sizes and loadings . A twofloor construction inside the load test field will house the control room , offices for the test field technicians and a separate lounge from which customers can observe ongoing tests . Soundproofing measures have been completed , and heavy-duty racks for shelf loads of 6,000 kg have been procured , which will accommodate part of the large MENZEL motor inventory and thus further shorten delivery times .
The gradual relocation from the existing headquarters in Berlin was complete prior to the end of
