Together with our partner KVK Koerner, who was the general contractor for this project, we succeeded in the year 2010 in an interesting and very exciting project, the construction of a new galvanizing plant in Baku, Azerbaijan. Why was it exciting? For us, it was a new and up to this point unknown world.
After a construction period of one year, the new fully automatic hot dip galvanizing plant Dieren in the Dutch city of Spankeren was completed in 2010. The main features of this new hot dip galvanizing plant are its size and efficiency. The inside dimensions of the zinc boiler are 13,3 x 1,8 x 2,9 m and the pre-treatment baths are as much as 20 m long.
We have built another completely automated contract galvanizing plant in Estonia, in close collaboration with our partner KVK Koerner. The new plant is on the Paldiski peninsula, directly at the Baltic Sea in front of the gates of the national capital Tallinn. Approximately 8,000 tons of steel are automatically galvanized since spring of 2009 in a zinc kettle with a length of 7.0 m, a width of 1.5 m and a depth of 2.8 m.
The company, OBO Bettermann, a leading manufacturer of 30,000 articles for the areas of electrical installation, has the main place of business in Menden in the Sauerland und has approximately 2,100 employees. The company operates two galvanizing plants for its own requirements. One of the two galvanizing plants is located in the immediate neighbourhood in Iserlohn/ Sümmern, the other is in Bugy, Hungary.
The company group Karger, lead today by Uli, Peter and Wolfgang Karger, the sons of the founder, operated two galvanizing plants up to the start of 2008. One at the location in Illertissen, the other in Hüttlingen. The company had orders in 2007 which allowed it to decide on the extension of the existing capacity by building an additional works, because of extremely good customer relationships and a highly motivated team – Karger is quite rightly proud of this.
