To meet the growing demand for flow measurement, the company has built a new production and office building. This makes Cernay one of the world's leading sites for the manufacture of electromagnetic flowmeters.
New building inaugurated on June 10th Endress+Hauser manufactures flowmeters in Cemay for delivery to customers all over the world.
" Cernay is one of the Group's fastest-growing sites. It has already been enlarged nine times since its commissioning in 1991. "said Matthias Altendorf, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group, at the inauguration ceremony for the new production and office building, held on June 10 in the presence of customers, partners and local and industry officials.
The additional 10,000 square meters will be mainly dedicated to the manufacture of electromagnetic flowmeters. One of the site's key areas of expertise is the coating of measurement tubes for these versatile instruments, an important manufacturing step in instrument quality.
The extension also includes a new building with a company restaurant, offices, meeting rooms, and a customer area for factory acceptance testing. The site currently employs 430 people.
Construction began in January 2019 and was completed in April 2020. " Here in Cernay, as in all our sites worldwide, we produce to the highest quality standards. That's why it's important for us to offer our employees a working environment that meets their needs. "explains Thierry Weissgerber, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Flow in Cernay.
Large bay windows bring in natural light. Break and relaxation areas with sofas and kitchenettes have also been integrated into the production building.
In addition to electromagnetic flowmeters. Cernay also manufactures ultrasonic and vortex devices. The new building was designed primarily for the manufacture of Promag H and Dosimag H products, used in particular in the food and life sciences industries. A double-skin façade dampens the noise of the production systems. Circulation aisles allow material to be delivered close to the production lines, enhancing the impression of space.
The company has made numerous investments and carried out a wide range of projects to reduce energy consumption on site, including an energy recovery system that stores compressor heat in winter in the boiler rooms to prevent it from being wasted. The building complies with the latest RT 2020 standard, thus meeting high thermal insulation standards. ISO 50001 certification is also in progress.
