Fronius is expanding its production capacity in its Austrian homeland. On a 100,000 meters square site in the town of Sattledt, the company is constructing its largest manufacturing and logistics facility. From 2007 Fronius will produce all its welding systems at the new plant in Sattledt, from where they will be shipped to customers across the world. This new facility will secure production capacity for planned growth through to 2012. Compared with the current situation, output will increase by 75%. Fronius will be installing a Kanban system in the new plant. With the new site in Sattledt, production will in the long term remain close to research & development as well as sales.
