Wuppermann Metalltechnik GmbH (WMT) has celebrated the roofing ceremony for its new production hall in Altmünster, Austria, Kallanish hears from parent group Wuppermann AG.
With a total investment of around €39 million ($42m), the German processor is building a new plant for its specialist precision steel tube maker unit, WMT. The project was initially announced in mid-2023 and construction work started in April last year.
Two highly automated tube welding lines and fully automated primary material and finished goods warehouses will be installed in the new hall complex. The cranes and machinery for assembly are due to be delivered from mid-March.
With this investment, WMT says it will be able to produce complex profile shapes in future, significantly expanding both the range of dimensions and the strength spectrum of its products. During the ramp-up of the new profile line, the existing tube welding line will remain in operation, ensuring seamless supply to customers.
