Turck Group restructures itself
The Turck Group intends to differentiate itself into the automation technology and development and production services divisions and to focus certain company locations on key technology areas.
The aim of the planned measures is to "sustainably strengthen the Group's international growth and make the company fit for the challenges of the future". Turck intends to significantly expand development and production capacities internationally by focusing on key technology areas at certain locations.
"We will create optimal structures for production, logistics and sales in the regions of Europe, Asia and America in order to be able to ideally cover local customer requirements. A prerequisite for this is the establishment of supply chain-optimized production in each region," explains Turck Holding Managing Director Christian Wolf.
For automation technology, the Halver (Sauerland) site will play a strategically important role as a technology and production location and implement the regional concept for production and logistics. For Europe, Turck is building another production site in Lublin, Poland, which is scheduled to start operations this year. By restructuring production within Europe, but also from Asia back to Europe, the company aims to reduce ineffective and costly logistics routes.
