Friedrich Freek’s success story in Menden continues. After recording two-digit
growth rates in the past three years and reaching a turnover of appr. six million
Euros in 2007, the producer and developer of heating elements now enlarges the
production facilities. "That is 500 square metres of additional production area,
which is urgently required", managing director Wolfgang Kaiser, who runs the
company together with his brother Stefan, explains. In March 2008 the second floor
on the production hall will be finished. By end of 2008 it is planned to accomodate
up to 10 new jobs. The work force will then increase to 60.
This is possible because of the high art of miniaturisation and the Internet:
"Our products, e. g. the heating elements for plastic nozzles, have constantly
become smaller, at the same time we ourselves have gone on growing with the Internet",
Wolfgang Kaiser summarizes. He has just returned from the world’s largest plastics
fair, the K in Düsseldorf. Freek has shown the most recent heating technologies on a
common stand with its European partners of the EUCOPET.
Especially proud are the Mendeners on the freshly patented "ThermoLock" clamp band system. Wolfgang Kaiser:
"The resonance in Düsseldorf was tremendous. We expect substantial growth rates also
fort this product." The Kaiser-brothers have already often caused a stir because
they broke new entrepreneurial grounds, whether in European cooperations or in
corporate communication.
Currently, "Lean Implementation" is a big issue. How production of simple standard
products can be profitably remain in Germany will be reported at the Sparkasse Menden shortly. - hgm
