Key milestones at a glance
The production hall floors have been poured and completed. The high-bay warehouse building is ready for operation and BIKAR teams are currently installing the racking systems, adding 25,000 t of storage capacity and more than doubling the site’s existing capacity along the A4. The first saw components have already arrived, with further machinery arriving continuously.
"With the completion of the floors and the delivery of the machines, the next major project phase is now underway," explains Pascal Bikar, CEO of the BIKAR METALS Group. "The intelligent integration elevates both cutting quality and speed to a whole new level."
High-Tech across 22,000 m²
BIKAR ZONE EAST relies on fully automated production processes, advanced IT integration, and energy-efficient concepts. Pick & Place robots boost flexibility and ensure maximum material availability.
Dr Jan Wolf, Head of Plant Engineering, explains: "The integration of warehousing, cutting and automated processes enables short workflows, consistent quality, and high process stability. At the same time, we are investing in training our own specialists and further developing our team."
