Gleason recently held a grand opening ceremony for its new facility in Studen, Switzerland. Many important customers from across the world attended the event, which also included product and technology demonstrations.
The Gleason-Pfauter Studen organization has about 120 employees and focuses on the design and manufacturing of gear hobbing, gear power skiving, and gear profile grinding machines, all of which are typically equipped with automation solutions. Its products are shipped globally to a variety of industries including automotive, power tools, and aerospace, to name a few.
The Gleason-Pfauter operation in Studen has grown rapidly in recent years, necessitating a move to a larger building to accommodate its expanding volume of business. The new advanced manufacturing facility extends the company’s office space by 30 percent and machine assembly capacity by almost 60 percent compared to the previous premises. The assembly area has been optimized for effective material flow, and the building was designed with energy efficiency and maintaining a low carbon footprint as high priorities.
“New technologies, including power skiving, are driving great interest and business opportunities from our customer base,” said Rudolf Moser, general manager of Gleason-Pfauter Studen. “Our success is a credit to our employees. Through their efforts, our business continues to grow each year. Our new factory will create an even better environment to further develop new products and technologies and continue producing highest quality machines.”
