The grand opening of the new WOLFFKRAN production facility in Luckau took place on July 7. For the first time in the WOLFF history, the company expands its production at a new site. Numerous distinguished guests from the domestic and international political and economic arena were invited to the event. Just eight months ago the foundation stone for the new plant of the WOLFFKRAN Werk Brandenburg GmbH in Luckau was laid and already in July 2008 the new production facility can be put into operation - this was possible thanks to careful engineering planning combined with the excellent cooperation of the on-site construction team. "We took the decision to expand in the region of Brandenburg mainly because we knew we could find locally sufficient highly qualified personnel for steel manufacturing and welding ", explained Ralph Frank, the Managing Director of the WOLFFKRAN Werk Brandenburg GmbH. By the end of this year toward 150 qualified skilled workers will be employed in the new plant which is located on a land area of more than 80 000 m2. The production facility equipment consists of state-of-the-art machines and lines for cutting, pre-production and production as well as corrosion protection devices and boring machines. To ensure an optimum material flow, the bridge cranes are arranged in multiple levels. Modern exhaust and filter systems are integrated in the conservation unit to meet prevailing environmental directives. Since 2006 the WOLFFKRAN Werk Brandenburg GmbH in Lübben has been manufacturing tower elements as welded steel constructions for diverse crane types. Due to the rising order situation and the growing demand for tower cranes as well as for additional components, the manufacturing process reached its capacity limits. The demand for additional components also results from the modular WOLFF tower system. Since the seventies WOLFFKRAN offers, and continues to do so, a complete modular system for its premium cranes. For that reason additional components can be ordered which are fully compatible with elements from former series groups as well as those for current series groups. With the new building in Luckau the over 150 year old traditional company of Heilbronn continues its successful engagement in Brandenburg. By the end of the year all employees of the WOLFFKRAN Werk Brandenburg GmbH along with newly employed skilled workers will be at the brand new production location. The consolidation of the production of the tower elements means that the manufacturing process can be efficiently increased. And indeed, last but not least, this "extension of the WOLFF territory" hails a new chapter of success in the WOLFF history.
