Balda AG: Balda Group brings together US sites

06.08.2015 / 08:02

———————————————————————

Bad Oeynhausen, 6th August 2015 – The US subsidiary of the Balda Group will

consolidate its previous four production sites and focus on two locations –

Ontario and Oceanside. At the same time, the total manufacturing space will

increase significantly.

The newly leased premises will increase Balda’s clean room capacity from

8,000 sq. ft. to approximately 25,000 sq. ft. for a total of 140,000 sq.

ft. of manufacturing space. This new location was the previous production

site of a medical technology corporation that recently consolidated its

production across its other existing factories, discontinuing its

production activities at the Ontario site.

After Balda announced last month that a key customer will substantially

reduce its production volume at the Irvine site, this change now presents

the opportunity to further expand the production and contract assembly of

technical products and fashion items as well as existing non-clean room

medical technologies at the Oceanside facility.

“By taking this decision, we are not only strengthening our presence in the

USA whilst investing in an attractive market segment, we are also

consistently implementing our strategic consolidation and focus of our US

sites. This puts us into a very good starting position for the future

development of the Balda Group”, states Oliver Oechsle, CEO at Balda AG.

The new orientation offers our customers and employees a significantly

improved outlook on the future, as all contact persons are now available at

a centralized location. These synergies as well as fast-track processing

and proximity to the production site will also significantly increase

efficiency and communication.
