Welcome to Parsdorf

KraussMaffei Automation has moved
For a few weeks Parsdorf has been the new address of KraussMaffei Automation. The entire production, including the warehouse and office workstations, were relocated within a few weeks thanks to the hard work of the specialist departments.
After 38 years at the Schwaig site in the north of Munich, it was time to say goodbye at the beginning of the year: More than 150 KraussMaffei Automation employees have been working in Parsdorf since March. All office and hall workstations were relocated, and all storage materials also found a new home in Parsdorf and the KMA technical centre is being integrated into the IMM technical centre at the site.
We are delighted to now be physically part of KraussMaffei Technologies. Working at the same location means shorter distances and faster coordination, which is a great advantage for us. We already see enormous potential here in the short time we have been at the new site.Martin Strasser

Manuel von Varchmin, Vice President Sales Injection Molding Technology, adds: "The benefits are not just of an internal nature. Everything will be even more efficient for our customers: We now have one warehouse for shipping parts, whether for an injection molding machine or automation. The coordination, processing and pre-acceptance of complete production systems will also be simpler and faster thanks to a shared location."
Relocation during ongoing production
"Despite the move over several weeks, we didn't have to interrupt production," explains Project Manager Christopher Scherm, adding: "It was important to us not to have to postpone any delivery dates for the systems to our customers due to the additional workload, and we succeeded in doing so." The Schwaig site was dismantled in recent months and returned to the landlord at the end of April.
"What has always belonged together is growing together - a win-win situation for everyone," concludes von Varchmin.
