Dear readers,
dear busi­ness associates,

with the turn of the year, we opened another new chapter. Aus­pi­ciously, a new empty page is in front of us and wants to be filled. Res­o­lu­tions often spur us to come up with new ideas – to improve upon the year before. But not every­thing that is new is nec­es­sarily better. This also applies to the numerous Industry 4.0 con­cepts that will make pro­duc­tion easier and more effec­tive in the future. It is impor­tant to focus on solu­tions that are tai­lored to the industry and the com­pa­nies involved.

With our spe­cialty machine engi­neering know-how and insider knowl­edge in the phar­ma­ceu­tical field, Harro Höfliger spe­cial­ists are looking for solu­tions that pro­vide a sig­nif­i­cant added value to you, our cus­tomers, but also to our internal engi­neering depart­ment, now and in the future. Among other things, we test dig­ital main­te­nance solu­tions that allow us to quickly resolve unplanned machine down­times, and we eval­uate smart devices that enable your staff to handle in-house main­te­nance or format changes without major training efforts and expenses. Uti­lizing deep-learning methods, we are working to make image pro­cessing even more pre­cise, and with ­vir­tual machine start-ups we make processes even safer.

In Back­nang, we are also investing in the future: This year, the ground-breaking cer­e­mony will be held for the expan­sion of the site where the Pack­aging and Web Tech­nolo­gies divi­sions will be housed. With the expan­sion, we are cre­ating a second loca­tion equiv­a­lent to Allmers­bach im Tal, where the Pharma Tech­nolo­gies and Assembly Tech­nolo­gies divi­sions are located.

As you can see, we are starting new chap­ters again this year, in order to con­tinue our – and your – suc­cess story. We are looking for­ward to our con­tinued part­ner­ship, close coop­er­a­tion and mutual inspiration.

Your
Thomas Weller,
CEO at Harro Höfliger
