Sennheiser’s 15m Euro centre to feature new manufacturing techniques

The centre’s cost, which doesn’t including the bills involved in moving production from Burgdorf and transferring the engineering department, will go towards ‘increased efficiency for the future’.

A new production system has been installed next to the existing production building. It is intended to improve material flows and work processes.

‘The meticulous planning and the intensive consultation process with ergonomists and manufacturing experts has paid off’, said Volker Bartels, president of Manufacturing and Logistics at Sennheiser.

‘From the beginning of this year our production and engineering staff have been working in a superbly well-organised and motivating environment.’

The move from Burgdorf to Wennebostel took eight weeks, and involved moving 230 machines, the heaviest of which weighed around 10 tons.

‘We have to ensure that our processes are flexible enough to adapt to changing market demands. That’s why one of our key priorities was the versatility of the building’, added Bartels.

The building covers around 4,200 square metres; the two floors, complete with two galleries, provide 13,500 square metres of space.
