M
almedie Antriebstechnik has long held a significant position in the industrial market due to its
development of high-performance couplings. Among its key inventions is the barrel-roller type drum coupling, a product that has set a high standard in the industry. This year, Malmedie has experienced a substantial increase in demand for its products, reflecting the ongoing growth in global logistics and industrial operations. The surge in demand is not just a temporary spike; it indicates a broader trend where industries are increasingly relying on high-performance coupling solutions to enhance their operational efficiency and reliability. Malmedie, recognizing this shift, has taken decisive steps to ensure it can meet these market demands without compromising on the quality for which it is known. To address the increased order intake, Malmedie has expanded its production capacity by implementing a third shift in its manufacturing operations.

By adding this third shift, Malmedie is not only increasing production volume but also enhancing its ability to respond to market opportunities more swiftly and effectively.

manufacturing operations and optimizing production processes is expected to play a crucial role in Malmedie’s ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency and maintain quality during this period of growth. As production manager, Zilz is tasked with managing daily shop floor activities, ensuring operations run smoothly and efficiently. His responsibilities also include driving key projects to innovate and improve Malmedie’s product offerings, ensuring they continue to meet the evolving needs of the market. Zilz’s leadership is expected to be instrumental in maintaining the company’s quality standards while scaling up production to meet the increased demand. “Malmedie’s decision to expand
production capacity reflects its deep commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The introduction of a third shift is not just a response to higher demand but a proactive measure to ensure the company continues to deliver products that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
