Machine manufacturer Arburg has concluded a multi-million Euro investment in the renovation of its Technology Center in Radevormwald. Shortly after the 40th anniversary celebrations, the ATC was cleared and gutted in August 2022. All that was left was a shell, which was then outfitted from the ground up with the latest technology. The comprehensive renovations and modernisations included installing photovoltaic and geothermal systems, a triple-glazed glass facade and efficient roof insulation. Following the renovation and thanks to the use of renewable energies, the annual primary energy requirement of the ATC Radevormwald is around just 40 percent of that of a newly built reference building. The photovoltaic system alone, which produces almost 100,000 kWh a year, covers 60 percent of the total consumption. The building project is also a very clear reflection of the corporate philosophy: no matter whether developing Arburg products and processes or undertaking a building project, the name of the game is combining high tech and innovation with resource conservation and sustainability.

During the transition period, the team of thirty plus were based in an office building around a kilometre away. At the temporary location, the office work and customer service hotline were able to continue 100 percent in house. The good, long-standing relationships with customers proved to be an advantage. For application technology and training, the Arburg staff was able to use the customers' machines on site.

The top floor of the ATC now accommodates redesigned training rooms with state-of-the-art presentation equipment. The technical centre also fulfils the latest requirements. Ulf Moritz, Manager of ATC Radevormwald: “In the technical centre, seven injection moulding machines of the latest design with clamping forces ranging from 400 to 1,600 kN are available for our customers, for sampling, testing and training. Each is equipped with a robot system — from the sprue picker and linear Multilift robot systems to the 6-axis robot. The high-quality machine technology and equipment leaves nothing to be desired.”

The reopening event site featured an open house, following an exclusive gathering the previous evening. Over the course of the two-day event, approximately 250 guests attended. Established in 1982, the Radevormwald location was Arburg's first site outside Lossburg and continues to be a key point of contact for customers and prospective buyers in the western and northern regions of Germany.
