Lindlar, 14.09.07. In the conference of yesterday, the Advisory Board and the Management Board of the family owned company Schmidt + Clemens (S+C) decided to increase the  investment budget for 2007. Thus, the high performance specialist invests approximately € 8,5 Mio. this year, more than half of it at the German headquarter. 

„A part of the strategy for the coming years is to expand the machining capacity“, said Jan Schmidt-Krayer, Managing Partner of Schmidt + Clemens. „ Therefore, further investments are necessary for the existing machinery, whereby I would like to emphasize the investment of approx. € 2 Mio. in a special drilling machine and a heavy turning lathe“, Schmidt-Krayer added.

Dr. Henning Kreisel, commercial Managing Director of S+C, further comments that this investment sum is one of the highest in the 125-years company´s history. 

The investments are part of the international strategy of Schmidt + Clemens. 

To be competitive with the constantly changing challenges in the market in the future, organisational changes are necessary within some divisions. Therefore the division Centrifual Casting – Special Products will be strengthened and will take over parts of the mechanical workshop from the subsidiary S+C MÄRKER. “With this step conflicts will be avoided, for example during scheduling”, so Schmidt-Krayer “and S+C MÄRKER can completely concentrate on its core business”. 

Thus, S+C has a clear organisational structure with three divisions - Centrifugal Casting Petrochemical, Centrifugal Casting Special Products and Steels Technology (S+C MÄRKER) and focus on its main production methods centrifugal casting, forged components as well as static casting.
