A reliable long-term collaboration between customers and suppliers leads to great expanding of said collaboration. Here’s an example:

As part of a relocation project at the headquarters of a long-standing automotive customer in Neckarsulm, VOLLMERT was asked to develop a concept at short notice on a Friday afternoon in February 2016. This project was about internal machine relocations and the integration of a wide range of machines – at a new operating location in northern Germany. A word and a blow! On the following Sunday morning, VOLLMERT met up with the client’s employees to develop a concept together!

Since 2016, we’ve moved and rearranged more than 1500 tons of machining centers as well as washing and measuring machines to suit our customer’s current project process. For instance, GROB machining centers weighing up to 50 tons have been moved in-house during ongoing production – while barely making any noise using air cushion technology to have only a minimal impact on the ongoing production.

Now, six years after the first contact, we’ve been commissioned again to carry out new expansions or new arrangements of the machinery in cooperation with the employees in Langenhagen.
