COMPANIES Holz-Her

COMPANIES Holz-Her Maschinenbau GmbH in Voitsberg HOLZ-HER makes long-term investments in the future Holz-Her Maschinenbau GmbH in Voitsberg, corporate affiliate of the WEINIG Group, announced in September its two-stage investment program with a total volume of 15 million euros. At the event, the symbolic ground breaking ceremony was reenacted with a delay caused by the pandemic. The first expansion stage, a new assembly hall with floor space of 1,700 sq. meters, will start operation as early as the beginning of December this year. Expansion stage two, a new, highly automated storage hall, will be started in the Spring of 2023. During this phase the ExpoCenter showroom will be expanded and the entire office infrastructure modernized. Hearty words of greeting were extended to the guests from the Weinig Technical CEO, Dr. Georg Hanrath, Harald Steiner, Business Manager at Holz-Her Maschinenbau GmbH in Voitsberg, Frank Epple, Business Manager at Holz-Her GmbH in Nürtingen as well as Voitsberg Mayor Mag. Bernd Osprian. Dr. Georg Hanrath explained the decision for these comprehensive investments in a few words: “The excellent development of Holz-Her has led to production in Voitsberg continuously reaching the limits of its capacity ever since 2019. In addition to expanding our production capacity with this expansion, we are also creating space to extend our portfolio of products. We are making these investments in the conviction that this location has a great future.” added Harald Steiner in his speech. “By the end of the year 2022, over 2000 machines will be produced and shipped from Voitsberg. We believe that expansion of the assembly area by 60 percent is a sign of our recognition for this location and are simultaneously aware of the challenge placed on us.” In the second expansion state, the entire logistics concept will be reconsidered. At the bottom line, effective, real-time supply of parts and material is more important than ever today. The new automated storage facilities save space and provide for an additional 3,000 sq. meters of floor space in the previous storage area for assembly. The planned expansion of the showroom is intended particularly for local customers and interested visitors from around the world to make their visit at Holz-Her in Voitsberg even more attractive. Frank Epple from the Nürtingen Headquarters emphasized: “Holz-Her has developed a strong position as a trailblazer and competent partner for innovative customer solutions in conjunction with current topics such as standardized wood processing machines, automation, digital services and networked production. For this reason we greatly appreciate the close, professional cooperation with our production location. The additional capacity will help us serve our customers even faster.” www.weinig.com // www.holzher.de Symbolic ground breaking ceremony at Holz-Her Maschinenbau GmbH in Voitsberg, corporate affiliate of the WEINIG Group.

Höcker Polytechnik is celebrating its 60th anniversary Always one idea ahead For 60 years, Höcker Polytechnik has been one of the leading companies in the industry. For “Polytechers”, team spirit and a love of innovative technology are at the forefront. On 16 September, the company celebrated its 60th anniversary with employees, friends and business partners. The company‘s new image film was presented as part of the anniversary celebrations, delighting the 500 or so guests. We develop the solutions of tomorrow – since 1969. Owner Frank Höcker and Christian Vennemann in the new logistics hall in 2020 – the two Managing Directors work together very successfully. When the merchant Günther Höcker founded his trading and assembly company POLYTECHNIK on 1 July 1962, he laid the foundations for an impressive success story. He was quick to recognise the market’s actual needs, concentrating on the development and production of space- and energy-saving extraction and filtration systems. In 1991, corporate foresight and intelligently managed growth led to the next logical step: the company established a production and distribution site in Poland in addition to the existing Hilter site. This new site soon became a very important part of the company. In 1993 there was a changing of the guard, with Günther Höcker handing over the reins to his son Frank, who continued to focus on progress: in addition to expanding the business in the new states of the Federal Republic of Germany, he also promoted the establishment and maintenance of a quality management system. In 2001, he appointed Christian Vennemann, a long-time employee and authorised signatory, as the second Managing Director. Today, the two Managing Directors continue to work together successfully. No. 4 • November 2022 By 2009, the Hilter site was bursting at the seams; it had to accommodate the company’s growth. Frank Höcker decided to make the largest single investment in the company‘s history: a new office building was erected in 2010, followed by a new logistics centre in 2012. With a footprint of 3300 m 2 , the logistics centre provides ample storage space as well as an order picking area. In 2014, Höcker Polytechnik added coating systems technology to its product portfolio through the acquisition of Pipgras Lackieranlagen GmbH. In 2015, another solar power plant went into operation on the roof of the production facility; in total, this generates over 230,000 kW/h of electricity annually. The buildings have been largely independent of fossil fuels since 2021 thanks to modern heat pump heating and cooling systems. This energy management system has been certified in accordance with ISO 50001 since 2016. When Höcker Polytechnik launched tapio on the market in 2017, it became the world‘s first manufacturer of extraction systems that are 100 % interface-compatible with tapio (Industry 4.0 for wood processing). In addition, the company opened a new laser centre in the second plant in Poland, and a year later the completely new MultiStar C hybrid filter system was launched on the market. Innovations such as the newly developed Vacumobil with IE5 efficiency power pack and the Vacumobil MD160 medium-pressure dust extractor were presented to the public in 2020 and 2021 and have driven the company‘s success to date. www.hoecker-polytechnik.de Wood is a raw material with a future – and its availability is limited.
