News from HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik.

Thanks to automation, IWK Verpackungstechnik has been able to significantly increase the production capacity of its HEDELIUS machining centres. By integrating a robot cell, the CNC operators gain valuable time that they can use for the manufacture of single parts. This solution enables IWK to increase its flexibility and further expand production efficiency.

"In 2012, we were faced with the challenge of having to modernise our entire CNC chipping process," says Tim Sprenger, Production Manager at BAADER, looking back. "We wanted a supplier who was just as interested as we were in a partnership-based collaboration and who would approach the issue with us on an equal footing. We found what we were looking for with HEDELIUS."

The SOLLICH KG is the worldwide market leader for chocolate processing machines. The family business from Bad Salzuflen in East Westphalia faced a major challenge when it came to modernising its chipping machinery. Increasingly complex single parts in a wide range of sizes and lengths have to be manufactured flexibly and efficiently. In HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik, the company found a partner who could make this possible.

The BAADER Group, which has been in existence for almost a hundred years, has been family-owned since it was founded in 1919 and now employs a good 1100 people worldwide, 500 at its headquarters in Lübeck alone. The centre of gravity at the northern German site is clearly on the production of fish processing machines.
