The crucial specialists all under one roof. The example of an order placed with WIR by GEKA GmbH of Waizendorf shows how ROBUR, as a group of specialists, can be the ideal partner for industrial companies.
GEKA GmbH is a manufacturer of brushes, applicators and complete packaging systems for the cosmetics industry. The company specialises in plastic brushes that are manufactured using the injection moulding process and also jointly develops new products for the beauty sector with cosmetic companies.
The main task of the order placed with ROBUR partner company WIR was the relocation of an entire plant from Bamberg to Waizendorf, the main location of the company. As part of this relocation, the legislature also requires a comprehensive CE declaration of conformity for the new location. This is a service that is not part of the WIR portfolio, but in which ROBUR partner company ROBUR AUTOMATION specialises. The team was supplemented on site by members of TEC, who contributed expertise and resources specifically for the electromechanical components.
For the customer GEKA, the “Everything from a single source” provision of the ROBUR group of companies was a persuasive factor. This is in line with current trends: more and more clients prefer “One-Face-to-the Customer” for increasingly complex challenges. For its part, digitisation promotes an ever greater integration of trades that used to be organised much more independently. Such company-wide cooperations – so-called intercompany transactions – will gain in importance in the future.
The outcome was that the entire system including UV coating, HV chambers, drying ovens, flame systems, pad printing systems and assembly machines was relocated between October 2020 and April 2021, installed ready for operation, partially modernised, comprehensively documented, provided with complete CE certification, and is now back in test operation.
