DOUBLE VICTORY |
 |
Two TRUMPF companies named 'Factory of the Year 2002' |
| Two Trumpf companies have been named Factory of the Year for 2002 in the prestigious competition organised by the German weekly magazine, ‘Produktion’ and management consultants A. T. Kearney Inc. The objective of this annual benchmarking competition is to reward business excellence in worldwide manufacturing. Trumpf Lasertechnik and Trumpf Werkzeugmaschinen - both in Ditzingen, Germany - were selected for their high professionalism which is reflected in processing quality. Excellent teamwork was also singled out for praise. What most impressed the jurors however, was how Trumpf successfully divided up the complexity of production in easily controllable decentralised units. Commenting on the double victory, Trumpf’s Executive Vice President Dr. Mathias Kammüller, said “We are probably the only machine tool manufacturer that organises the production of all its machines and sub-assemblies in continuous flow assembly. The award honours this achievement.” |
