Initial situation
Pöppelmann is a leading manufacturer of various plastic products. The company can look back on very successful, fast-growing years with a very high level of customer and quality satisfaction. The company has been able to achieve this partly because it is able to deliver even the smallest quantities flexibly and at short notice. With further growth in mind, the management had a vision of a perfect factory that would achieve a new level of productivity using the latest technology.
“Never before have we managed to prepare such a good & well-founded concept ready for a decision in such a short time and at the same time get new impulses for a holistic approach including automation!”

step by step to the solution
1. Creation of a visionary master plan
Freed from all constraints, we created a master plan for the vision of a perfect and future-proof factory. The investments for construction and intralogistics technology were determined on the basis of sound estimates and a very high degree of automation was targeted in order to significantly increase productivity.
2. Development of the integration concept
This vision was then examined in terms of the possibilities for integration into an existing plant in terms of infrastructure, employees and regional influencing factors. The focus here was, among other things, not to jeopardize the sustainable concept and to make use of usable synergy effects and spatial conditions.
3. implementation of the plan in the existing plant
One of the scenarios developed was finally planned in detail with a focus on integration synergy with other product areas, submitted for an investment decision and then put out to tender on the market. The technical and economic tender results from the market led to the investment being approved.
Result
The company now has an ideal, forward-looking expansion plan, with the help of which the very profitable and fast-growing product area can triple its turnover and achieve a 30% increase in productivity. Thanks to the concept, other product areas can be integrated gradually at a later date without any loss of productivity and it is possible to react flexibly to possible changes at any time.
