To further strengthen our position as the quality leader in the European core markets, the acquisition of the, until now, self-operating plant in Dačice (Czech Republic) took place on the 15th of December 2015.
With the integration of the joint venture, we have set yet another milestone for our drive towards the internationalization and the strength of our competitiveness in the global market. Thus, we can instantly pass on the advantages of the global footprint directly to our customers, can exploit new valuable opportunities for our eastern European customers with local content, and at the same time expand our injection- and overmoulding capacities. Due to the integration of our customer base over all three locations and the mutual group internal order coordination, we can assure our customer an even better service on a global scale with the same uniform quality.
The in 2007 established plant in Dačice has 24 injection moulding machines and an employee base of 78 highly qualified full-time employees, which possess over great knowledge in the part and module production. Core competences lay in the overmoulding of insert parts, the assembly of plugs, the LSR overmoulding of plastic parts, as well as the assembly of systems in the ESD production area. From the strategic and structural point of view, as well as to further promote the reciprocative know-how transfer, the merger now enables a closer linkage to the headquarter in Coburg.
With the expectation of the General Manager, 100% of the staff was taken over in the acquisition process. The next steps include the implementation of the internal ERP-System and the launch of the new corporate design in all relevant business areas.
