HUEBER Getriebebau invests more than one million Euro in its location in Kirn

2009.07.01 HUEBER Getriebebau invests more than one million Euro in its location in Kirn

Beginning of August 2008 the construction works on the site adjacent west to HUEBER Getriebebau GmbH have started.
On this site an approximately 850 m² production hall plus 250 m² warehouse are to be built.
Among others this major investment was possible by participation of Krupke Holding GmbH who fully supports this strategic orientation of HUEBER Getriebebau GmbH.

From beginning of 2009 the field of gearbox service and repair, especially for wind turbine gearboxes, will be established in the new facility.

The large crane capacity of totally more than 60 tons ensures that HUEBER can handle heavy-load gearboxes exceeding 50 tons/piece – gearboxes like the one delivered in December 2007 to Rohrwerk Maxhütte.

Furthermore the new workshop includes a new painting facility in which the gearboxes are painted on a high technical standard.

In the run-up to this decision for Kirn as the location for the new production hall there have been further investment possibilities that were thoroughly checked by the management. The decision to execute the extension at the company’s location in Kirn is mainly connected with logistic aspects.

By means of the building activities the appearance of HUEBER Getriebebau GmbH will be adapted to the positive developments of the last years.

The land area including the adjacent residential building already belonged to HUEBER Getriebebau GmbH. The residential building is to be converted into an office building with staff rooms and thus integrated into the new building.

With this extension HUEBER institutes the option of establishing new jobs at Kirn and thus further consolidating this location.
