For the BSH washing machine production plant located in Łódź, Poland, the change to a new generation of appliances led to a new production strategy. Injection-moulded parts, which had long been outsourced from external contractors, are now manufactured in-house. The injection moulding partner Wittmann supported the new injection moulding facility’s development by de-livering large Macro Power machines — each equipped with an extensive automation package.

“With the development of our new appliances, we have responded to current customer demand”, explains Dr. Andrzej Pirek, Head of Department of Manufacturing Engineering, during our visit to BSH Sprzȩt Gospodarsrwa Domowego in Łódź. “All our washing machines now come with the highest energy efficiency class A. They also consume less water and run at a lower noise level.” The lion’s share of the washing machines manufactured in Łódź are destined for European markets. Mainly the global brands of Bosch and Siemens are made at this location.
