GEA invests EUR 5.5 million at the Prenzlau site
G
EA is investing around EUR 5.5 million in the modernisation of production at the GEA AWP site
in Prenzlau until 2026. By expanding its capacities, GEA is targeting further growth in the important market for heating and cooling technologies. As part of this project, seven older machining centres will be replaced by new models. The new CNC machining centres and lathes enable a reduction in machining time of up to 20 percent and a reduction in set-up times of up to 70 percent. In addition, the new machines save valuable space in production and can be used for other purposes. Another important advantage of the new machines is the improved ergonomic situation for employees. The fi rst new milling machining centre went into operation at the end of 2023. GEA AWP managing director Tobias
Länge said: “At GEA AWP, effi ciency and fl exibility in production and development are top priorities. We convince our customers with products of the highest reliability for trouble- free operation of their plants.” The investment in the new machines is also linked to an increase in production jobs at the GEA AWP site in Prenzlau. Around 20 additional production employees in machining, welding and logistics are to be recruited by 2026. GEA AWP site manager Tobias Länge says: “Recruiting these employees will not be easy due to the shortage of skilled workers. Nevertheless, we are convinced that we will be able to attract qualifi ed employees from Prenzlau, the Berlin metropolitan region and the federal states of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania in particular.”
