With the change in the injection moulding markets, the requirements of plastic processors also changed. According to Wittmann Battenfeld, consulting and service are becoming even more important. At the German site, we have adapted to this with a number of measures. Most recently, four area managers were therefore appointed in Nuremberg: Alexander Paech is the new sales manager for automation and peripherals, Björn Dünfelder is responsible for project management, design and planning in automation technology, Maximilian Töpfl heads production, and Jürgen Kreissl takes over the service and infrastructure area, which also includes the test lab and training area, as we find out. All four are considered experts within the company. This new setup is intended to increase the power in terms of quality, consulting, planning and customer service.

This is to be improved at Wittmann Battenfeld in Germany

As a result, the range of application technology offerings will be expanded both in Nuremberg and in Meinerzhagen. For training, demonstrations, tests and joint developments with customers, a wider range of machines, robots, peripheral systems and processes will be available in the future. The possibilities of the Smart Factory can then be very clearly and tangibly conveyed, says Wittmann Battenfeld. At both locations, investments have already been made in new systems for "intelligent" temperature control, as it is said. Money is also to be invested in customer service. For example, a second test stand is currently being set up at the Meinerzhagen site in order to be able to offer the temperature control unit service at both German locations in the near future.

More about the four named decision-makers or experts

Dünfelder has been with Wittmann Battenfeld for over 20 years and has been successfully managing the planning of automation technology for several years. Töpfl has led the project management for large and special systems for the past four years and has outstanding industry expertise, as it is said. In his 10 years with the company, Paech has gained experience in all areas from service to planning, training and sales, and Kreissl has even been with the Wittmann Group for 33 years. He has so far been responsible for everything around electrical planning, software and assembly.
