SARS CoV2, better known as the Corona virus, turns the world upside down. The pandemic leads to the partial shutdown of workplaces, collapse of supplier chains, short-time work as well as sending Germany and the rest of the world into a global economic crisis.

Due to our customer structure and the related classification as a systemically important company, we were able to survive this period with relatively little impact.

In spite of this, we stuck to our restructuring plans. Due to the newly created space from the relocation of the deburring/shipping departments to the neighboring building, a hall layout was designed based on the planned investments. The milling/turning department moved to our Hall 2, creating space for expansions to our 4-axis horizontal department.

For our cleaning after TEM deburring, we exchanged our Sporer MPC for an LPW PowerJet CnP. Here, the focus is on removing the aluminum oxide that has formed and on Fine cleaning of the components. The CnP process is particularly suitable for cleaning deep bores. An expansion of the QA facilities was also carried out.
