The level of investment in 2015/2016 was ~ 5 % of revenue.
In the area of production, investment occurred in a new 10 ton production line, which will assume operation in the coming weeks to ensure that we continue to meet increasing customer demands on time. The availability of raw materials and finished goods with this increase in revenue has been accounted for with an additional investmentin warehousing in the form of an expansion to our storage facility.
As a specialist in the field of release agents and lubricants for die casting we are open to all developments and we aim to push these developments forward. Examples of this are new product developments not only with minimum quantity spraying, but also with zinc die casting, where it is possible to replace solvent-based products with water-based release agents. This is where exhaust-air quality in the production facility or product flammability comes into focus and is greatly improved. Permanent developmental work and constant observation of the market and its needs are indispensable towards our success.
German Know-How and Quality– Made in India. The start of die lubricant production in India with our partner HETPAN Die Lubricants is planned for May 2017 and is expected to accommodate all the needs of the Indian market.
