The Dutch machine tool manufacturer Hembrug BV put its new production establishment into operation in Haarlem, near Amsterdam, on 9 January.
The official opening ceremony was conducted by Jan Kamminga, chairman and managing director of the Dutch association for Metal and Elektro, FME-CWM.
Hembrug has built ultra-precision turning machines for the production of precision products made of hardened metal types in Haarlem for decades.
The company has for some time been confronted with a lack of space due to the development of larger vertical machines and a steady increase in order intake. The new production facility has doubled Hembrug's production area, creating space for the completion of larger, customer-specific projects and enablingthe building of more standard machines. The new facility also creates the space needed to expand other disciplines, such as engineering, R&D and production management.
Last year the company was presented with the Dutch Techni-Show Innovation Award for the development of the Hemtech 5-axis ultra-precision milling machine Nano-Focus. The commissioning of the new building has created more space for the building of these machines.
Hembrug currently employs some 70 people and exports all over the world.
