Best in Class!
Innovation is the driving force behind our business. In line with our vision “The No. 1 team for sustainable production solutions”, our aim is to always provide you with the best solutions for your challenges in the production environment.
In this issue, we present exciting highlights from our business units and international markets. You will gain an insight into the activities of our global companies and learn more about customer projects that exemplify our above-mentioned vision. Our sustainability campaign “GoGreen250” is a central pillar of this, alongside the development of new products. We recently presented our third sustainability report with great pride. From page 4 onwards, you can find out what other measures we will take to achieve our goal of being CO2-neutral by 2029. The installation of PV systems in our factories and over 70 charging points for e-mobility for our customers and employees are just a few examples of our successful implementation of the energy transition.
The opening of our new application and demo center near Hanoi in Vietnam was an important step towards being able to offer our customers a comprehensive range of services directly on site. This project is part of Kurtz Ersa Asia´s strategic expansion in Southeast Asia and aims to strengthen customer service and support. Another impressive example of the consistent implementation of our global footprint is the opening of the new production facility in Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) for HOTFLOW reflow soldering machines. This will strengthen our position in Central America, optimize logistics processes and reduce our customers´ carbon footprint.
Facts on how the service aspect is playing an increasingly important role in our business model can be read in more detail from page 14 onwards in the article “Future Services & Added Values”. Here we provide far-reaching insights into how we shape the topic of “Service” for Kurtz Ersa and generate concrete added value for our customers. Our focus here will continue to be on customer-oriented applications and holistic solutions. We live our “Culture of Innovations”, which flows into highly-complex applications in real life – read our aerospace story from the Ersa world of “Electronics Production Equipment” on page 10 on supporting Airbus satellite production.
As already announced in the last issue of our customer magazine, I am giving those responsible from our operational business units a chance to speak. Today I would like to introduce you to Jochen Meinhof, Managing Director for Sales & Marketing at SCHILLER AUTOMATION GmbH & Co. KG, a leading provider of automation solutions for the automotive and electronics industries.
“We have been part of Kurtz Ersa for around two years now and our many years of experience and valuable customer relationships complement the portfolio for our customers. SCHILLER AUTOMATION has become an important pillar of the Kurtz Ersa Group, contributing its strengths and expanding the Group portfolio in a meaningful way. For its part, Kurtz Ersa is locating new technologies at SCHILLER AUTOMATION, which further develops our expertise, opens up access to new markets and offers the best growth prospects for the future. Together with the automation unit at Reinhardshof, we can offer customers from the electronics industry in particular fully-automated solutions, for example for soldering.”
