Company move to new premises successfully completed
For almost 2 years KILOVOLT Prueftechnik Chemnitz GmbH was looking for a new, bigger and seminal company location.
Numerous industrial properties in the city and outskirts of Chemnitz were checked as new potential locations. Finally, in September 2017 an agreement was reached with the new owners of the business park "Gewerbepark Wirkbau" - the MIB Wirkbau Chemnitz GmbH & Co. KG.
From October 2017 until January 2018 the construction work was in full swing. Modern and bright office rooms, a big conference and training room, a big production hall and warehouse and also a new big High Voltage Test Field were built. The new premises were fully equipped with high-efficiency glare-free LED lighting. Also investments into the IT infrastructure were made.
From February 2018 the company move took place. This step was important for the further growth of KILOVOLT. Luckily we could move inside of our business park, this has significantly reduced the effort for the relocation. And fortunately, due to this our well know address and contact data remain unchanged.
All of our employees have rapidly settled in. Our production is running again one hundred percent. In the course of relocation many processes were optimized. R&D, production, service and logistics are now perfectly linked.
With the new company location KILOVOLT is well equipped for the future.
