'The expansion, which will increase our production area at the site by around 40 percent, will be ready for operation in the third quarter of 2022. In this way, we are creating the conditions for the introduction of innovative conveyor solutions that are specifically suited for use in hygienically demanding environments, such as food processing,' says Hauke Tiedemann, head of the Global Center of Excellence for drum motors in Baal. 'This enables our customers in this important area to further increase productivity while improving hygiene in their material flow.'
In recent years, Interroll has already successively invested around 20 million euros in the Baal-Hückelhoven site. The Group's Innovation Projects and Development Center (IPDC) and the Interroll Academy, which is responsible for internal and external training measures, are also based there. Around 240 Interroll employees now work in Baal. By 2025 at the latest, the site expansion and strengthening of expertise for customers in the food industry is expected to add around 60 jobs.
'With this investment in one of our most important sites, we are once again confirming our long-term growth course, with which we will continue to satisfy our customers' demand for existing and new solutions in the coming years. As part of this growth strategy, for example, new plants were recently commissioned in the Heilbronn/Heidelberg, Germany, area and in Georgia, United States. In addition, a new plant will be opened in China next year,' says Jens Strüwing, Executive Vice President Products & Technology and a member of Interroll Group Management.
