Vienna -
* Expansion project successfully completed
* Polish plant in Belchatów is now the largest mixing site in the Semperit Group
* Since 2016, around EUR 17 million has flowed into the expansion of the mixing
operation
* In-house production of compounds as essential quality factor with cost
advantages; supply of rubber compounds to third parties will be evaluated
Vienna, Austria / Belchatów, Poland, 27 June 2019 - With five mixing lines and a
capacity of 75,000 tonnes per year, the Polish plant in Belchatów will be the
largest mixing site in the Semperit Group after completion of the most recent
expansion project. Around EUR 17 million was invested in the construction of
"Mixer 5" in the past three years. With the new mixing line, 30,000 tonnes of
rubber compounds can be produced per year, while the mixing capacity at the site
is increased by a total of 67 percent.
"The in-house production of rubber compounds is a key strategic field for the
Semperit Group, which will contribute to future growth. Therefore, we have
invested in the expansion of our capacities and are currently evaluating the
supplies for other companies through our mixing division", says Martin
Füllenbach, Chairman of the Management Board of Semperit AG Holding.
The Semperit Group has a high demand for tailor-made rubber compounds - in-house
mixing is therefore indispensable and guarantees comprehensive quality control
at all stages of production. In addition, many years of internal know-how in the
mixing division lead to clear annual cost advantages in a high six-digit range.
The mixing activities of the Semperit Group in Europe are concentrated in
Wimpassing/Austria, Odry/Czech Republic, Hückelhoven/Germany, and Belchatów/
Poland. The Polish Sempertrans location also supplies compounds to Semperform
Profiles in Deggendorf/Germany for the production of window seals.
