Membrane specialist invests in machinery and personnel
July 18, 2023
Sister company beck-walcher GmbH moves into new, modern premises
By moving into new premises in Sindelfingen, the membrane specialist was now able to invest in machinery and personnel and implement process improvements. The tight and convoluted production space at the old company headquarters in Stuttgart previously constrained larger-scale modernization measures.
beck-walcher GmbH was founded in 2022 as a sister company of halstrup-walcher GmbH and has taken over the business of Beck GmbH Druckmesselemente. beck-walcher specializes in the production of diaphragms and pressure cells and sees itself in the tradition of 100 years of Beck GmbH Druckmesselemente.
New premises offer space for modern equipment
A lot has happened since beck-walcher GmbH took over the business on 01 November 2022. With the move into the new company headquarters in Sindelfingen, the machinery was renewed and also optimized in terms of processes on a total of 1700 square meters according to lean management methods. With the introduction of the group-wide ERP system and use of the modern IT infrastructure of the Halstrup-Walcher Group, fundamental conditions were laid for the further digitalization of the business processes. As part of the Halstrup-Walcher Group, the company thus has access to central services provided by halstrup-walcher GmbH, which facilitates lean processes.
A medium-term goal is
the further development of technical competence at the site through new employees.
For this reason, the HR department is currently also pleased to receive
speculative applications.
With these prerequisites in place, there will be a greater focus back onto quality management and quality assurance. The goal is to inspire the customers with high-quality products and the highest adherence to delivery dates.
"We can see from the reaction of our customers that we have done a good job with the relocation. With the new premises, we are showing that we are a professional and reliable partner that is well positioned for the future"
says Jürgen Walcher, managing director of beck-walcher GmbH.
With over 100 years of experience, beck-walcher GmbH is one of the leading suppliers of diaphragms and pressure cells for differential and absolute pressure. The company is part of the Halstrup-Walcher Group, which with the halstrup-walcher GmbH develops and manufactures innovative actuator and measurement technology solutions.
