New Headquarters in Japan
In June, the new Headquarters for our Japanese customers and prospects were opened in the area of Kashiwanoha campus, northeast of Tokyo, and vis-à-vis the Tokyo University. Highly trained ultrasonic specialists and a fully equipped ultrasonic application laboratory offer ideal conditions for customer service and application testing.
Collaboration in Sweden
As part of the global strategy to bring more ultrasonic services to local customers, Herrmann Ultraschall opened its 12th Tech-Center. With an ultrasonic welding laboratory at Battenfeld Sverige in Halmstad, Sweden, Scandinavian cutomers have the option to do initial feasability tests and process optimization tests locally.
Continuing education with system
When a politician takes over a government office, he has a grace period of 100 days before a first assessment will be made. Also with new employees much depends on the course of the first three months.
New employees at Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik GmbH & Co. KG can be sure that they are optimally supported in the first 100 days: The „Herrmann Akademy", founded in 2011, provides them with lots of motivation, training and further education. For this, the company again received the TOP JOB award in 2013.
CELEBRATION – ceremony to honor entrepreneurial spirit
The company celebrates its 50th anniversary with Technology Days and a special jubilee program.
First time ever, Tech-Days were held at the Karlsbad headquarters with a wide range of interactive workshops and factory tours – with very positive feedback.
At the anniversary celebration on Nov. 3, 2011, 750 guests enjoyed a multimedia performance where the highlights of history and technology of Herrmann Ultraschall were presented perfectly.
New quality label Ultra³
With the new quality label Ultra³ the performance of the new machines is emphasized: Precise. Flexible. Economical. These are attributes which indicate value for the customer and which differentiate ultrasonic welding from other joining technologies. The red label provides visual acuity and indicates that the weld application was resolved with ultrasonics from Herrmann Ultraschall.
ZIM innovation program
ZIM stands for "Central Innovation Program for German SMEs" and is an initiative run by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi). In 2010 Herrmann Ultraschall receives the coveted funding to develop a highly flexible fluid drive for ultrasonic tools and is then invited to the booth of the BMWi at Hannover Messe.
Closer to the customer
Herrmann Ultraschall establishs the new Tech-Center North in Walsrode, Germany.
More customer support also in Mexico – Herrmann Ultrasonics opens a Tech-Center in Mexico City. Both offices are provided with the newest technology and excellently equipped application laboratories for weld tests.
New company building for Herrmann Ultrasonics
With the construction of the new company building in Bartlett, the company size was doubled to about 1900 square meters; another 1400 sqm are available for expansion.
The subsidiary is very similar to the headquarters in Karlsbad, not only from the appearance. It also offers the complete scope of services with application laboratories, service, and trainings for the American market.
The winner is …
In 2006 Herrmann Ultraschall wins the innovation prize of the technology region Karlsruhe for the new development of the rotating process for continuous bonding of nonwovens.
