A true highlight of SML’s headquarters is its brand-new Technology Centre which hosts the R&D activities. With more than 3000 m² in size, it offers a competence center for extrusion technology, several demonstration lines in productions scale, laboratories with state-of-the-art testing equipment as well as campus-like spaces for meetings and trainings. SML’s Technology Centre is running rea- dy-for-sale demonstration lines, both for internal trials as well as for joint R&D projects with customers. Together with its partners, SML is using these lines to test new raw materials, to improve the properties of end products, to optimize manufacturing processes and to work on new products. The Technology Centre in SML’s newly in- augurated headquarters offers a big va- riety of testing facilities for all aspects of SML’s products. SML is steadily adding new lines to its Technology Centre. The new site has a total built-up floor area of 42,000 m², a substantial part of it is covered with one of the most modern production facilities for plastics proces- sing machinery in Europe. An architecto- nical high-light of the new HQ is the atri- um in the spacious office area, that serves as venue for company events and informal meetings. All facilities of SML’s new HQ were designed to offer perfect working conditions, promoting innovati- on and the communicative interaction among employees. SML’s new production site allows highest flexibility in manufacturing. In combinati- on with optimized logistical sequences, machinery production at the new plant is becoming more efficient. After years of continuous growth, for SML it was ne- cessary to avoid bottlenecks in producti- on and to secure the reliability of delivery times. Due to an overall improvement of operating processes, throughput times are reduced and productivity in each business unit is raised. ➠ BASF, www.basf.com ➠ Sibur, www.sibur.ru/en/ Center statt, um das klare Bekenntnis von SIBUR und BASF zu besiegeln.
