After the 2006 expansion, AZ Armaturen GmbH is again enlarging its production areas at the Mönchweiler site. With today’s ground-breaking ceremony for the new production hall, an additional 2500 square meters will be provided. “The growth and the increasing requirements of our customers require this construction measure”, explains Jörg Wisser, Managing Director of the AZ Group.
For example, international customers include the chemicals, petrochemicals and fertiliser industries, as well as power plants and operators of sea water desalination plants that want to further increase plant capacity with valve diameters of up to 600 mm. The newly acquired sales sectors for production of ultra-pure silicon for the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries and the food industry also require special oil-free and grease-free production areas. “The new construction provides room for an improved work process, so that we can respond to customer requests more quickly and with greater flexibility.” explains Wisser, substantiating the new investment.
With approximately 100 employees, the special valves are designed, produced and marketed at the Mönchweiler location. AZ followed its internationally active customers into the growth markets early on. This is why, in addition to the headquarters in Mönchweiler, the AZ-Group also manufactures its valves in Brazil, China and South Africa with a total of 360 employees.
