Many roads lead to “Rome”
“Run Flat” is the innovative tire concept of the Pirelli company that allows a vehicle to continue driving with a flat tire. Thus, even with a puncture, you can drive safely to the nearest repair shop.
One of the places where these tires are produced is Rome, Georgia. Thanks to the high degree of automation in modern production systems, Pirelli has been able to radically shorten the production time of a tire!
At the Rome facility, four of these production systems were installed and commissioned by Baumüller-Nürmont Corp., the American subsidiary of NÜRMONT and Baumüller. Thanks to the flawless work by and repeated great cooperation with our NÜRMONTies in the past, NÜRMONT was again chosen to install the fifth line.
Since the production lines largely consist of robots and extruders, up to twelve NÜRMONTies were involved in setting up, orienting and leveling the systems. The use of modern measurement equipment ensures maximum precision here.
The work done by NÜRMONTies includes installation of all machinery, electrical equipment, fluid technology and media supply. Precise installation ensures proper subsequent operation of the production systems and guarantees high product quality.
The production lines were developed in Italy by Pirelli. The components installed in Rome are European machines, which demand corresponding know-how and technical background knowledge. In order for the American Pirelli personnel to be able to maintain and operate the systems later on, they played a supportive role during installation. The NÜRMONT installation team was about half American and half German. Besides eliminating the language barrier, this way of doing things has a decisive advantage, namely the combination of American and German expertise.
A generational shift in Freiberg
Heinz Stäber, Head of the Freiberg NÜRMONT branch, has real staying power. Thanks to his stamina, a real free-market nose paired with solid technical aptitude and the relevant engineering knowledge, this native of Saxony has played an important role at the Freiberg location since the very beginning.
As such, he guided and directed the fate of the branch from 1991 to 2005 as a production manager and from 2005 on as branch manager. Mr. Stäber took on this challenge despite having already celebrated 60 birthdays in his life. A main reason for this was the employees. He has worked with some of them for years and feels responsible for them in a special way.
Freiberg has made a name for itself in the industry over the years in planning, design, production and installation, as well as in the servicing of machines, assemblies and individual components. Though it wasn't always easy after the reunification, NÜRMONT was able to rely on the precise and reliable work of its employees and thus gain the trust of customers. Support for the Freiberg branch by the company management at the headquarters in Feucht near Nuremberg was always a sure thing. “In Freiberg, investment seeds fell on fertile soil thanks to the entire team’s being well positioned, qualified and highly motivated. So the success of the branch is largely due to the tireless dedication of Mr. Stäber”, said Jochen Loy, NÜRMONT CEO.
Yet the time eventually comes for even the most dedicated branch head to enter his more than deserved retirement and pass on the executive chair to another. Heinz Stäber needed to look no further than within the NÜRMONT ranks to find a successor. Volker Böhm, who has been working as a welding technology engineer for ten years and knows company internal processes and challenges first hand will succeed Mr. Stäber. On December 1st, 2008, the key and executive chair were passed on to him at a ceremony.
Everyone at NÜRMONT wishes Mr. Stäber, who finished his last work day in June, lots of fun in his well deserved retirement and we thank him for his many years of untiring work for NÜRMONT. Good luck!
We’d also like to wish Mr. Böhm lots of strength and success with his upcoming work as he continues to ensure great contact with every customer, as always.
Luck up! has been the greeting of the Freiberg miners since the middle ages when heading back out the mine shaft after a day’s work. In this spirit, everyone at NÜRMONT wishes the Freiberg branch and every employee “Luck up” and much success in the coming years.
Work isn’t everything!
Our hard-working NÜRMONTies are helping customers around the globe. The travel report by Robert Krieger, our technical supervisor who was on assignment in Oregon, shows there's more to life than just work:
“Right after arriving in Portland on January 8th, we had the first preliminary discussions with the customer’s construction supervisor and representatives of the end customer regarding the arrival and importation of the system components. Together with a colleague from our Atlanta branch, we made preparations for the installation of the system. After unloading and bringing in the system, the rest of our colleagues needed for the following stages of installation arrived.
Since there was hardly any time to breathe during the first three weeks, we wanted to explore some of Oregon on the upcoming weekend. As they say, “Work isn’t everything!”
Greater Portland (with approx. 2 million inhabitants) isn’t called the “Silicon Forest” for nothing. Many companies working on renewable energy have settled in the area.
Besides industrial companies, the state of Oregon, which is 255 km² in size and has only 3.7 million inhabitants (in comparison, Germany is 357 km² in size), also boasts a wonderful natural environment. Drive an hour or two out of Portland and you can be in the mountains to ski or at the Pacific Ocean to watch migrating whales. Traveling 3,400 m up Mt. Hood was a great way to spend a sunny day, but the icy-cold wind meant that we were underequipped for skiing, unfortunately.
The region offers plenty to do in the evening, as well. We discovered a wide variety of culinary and cultural delights. Contact with local people is always very important to me, both to improve my language skills and to experience as much of the country and people as I can.
One time at a typical American bar, where a great classic rock band was playing live, we were responded to in German, which really surprised us. Apparently, my English isn’t quite as accent-free as I’d like.
With our spirits boosted by the experiences from the weekend, our project entered its next phase the following week. In order for the start-up engineers and programmers to begin their work, the electrical system had to be completed. After a couple minor difficulties at the start, it was ready for use.
On free weekends, we spent most of our time in the surrounding mountains. In the southern Cascade Mountains, we met early whitewater rafters who were out despite a cool temperature of 6°C. Outdoor activities are very popular in Oregon, and people can be found doing them in the most remote places. Unfortunately, we got stuck in the snow while driving to Mt. St. Helens, but were able to free ourselves thanks to four-wheel drive. Unfortunately, we were unable to get a look at the volcano that erupted on May 18th, 1980.
At this stage, we entered the final phase of installation at our construction site. The highly specialized anchoring regulations of the state of Oregon (seismic zone 4), which were conceived to be very stringent, and a very difficult hall floor (only 85 mm thick) presented another challenge while finishing up the work. Ultimately, though, all our problems were solved to the fullest satisfaction of the client.
Now it’s time for us to say goodbye to Oregon. Oregon gave us a lot of new impressions, and we got to know the country and people. After almost three months away, though, we’re all looking forward to returning to our families.”
NÜRMONT congratulates competition winner Mr. Weber from the Chiron company
To present the main prize for the last NÜRMONT Now competition, Head of Sales Haymo Hollweck and Head of Marketing Christina Krieger traveled to one of the southernmost parts of Germany.
Their destination was Tuttlingen in the state of Baden-Württemberg. This city of 35,000 lies in the valley of the Upper Danube River, which originates just 30 km to the west. Tuttlingen was built at the foot of the reconstructed Honberg Castle, which greets city visitors from afar with its characteristic towers.
Because of its almost 600 companies in the medical industry, Tuttlingen is also often called the “world capital of medical technology”.
The origins of Chiron, which is the latest competition winner’s company, also harken back to medical technology. In 1921, the company was founded under the name “Fabriken feinmechanischer Apparate und chirurgischer Instrumente GmbH”, or Precision Mechanical Device and Surgical Instrument Factories, LLC, which was changed to the current name of “Chiron” half a year later. After years of being involved in a wide variety of areas, a breakthrough in the field of CNC production centers came in 1977 with the FZ 32. Since then, the company has been known for its CNC machine tools.
We were greeted by our winner, Bernd Weber, Head of Flexline Service and Mr. Paul Buschle, Head of the Service Department, in the newly completed company building, which allows you view the exhibition and demonstration rooms in the basement through glass panels. After a brief tour of the building and history of Chiron, we got down to the "business" of our visit, presentation of the gift certificate. This time, two overnight stays at the Resort Mark Brandenburg, including a host of wellness treatments, were presented. The hotel is located on the shore of Ruppiner Lake in Neuruppin. Neuruppin is also home to a Nürmont branch.
“I just couldn’t believe that I won at first. I've always been really careful about believing Spam emails, but when I realized that I had really won a stay at the Resort Mark Brandenburg, I went straight to the hotel’s website and checked out my future vacation destination. The hotel and wellness package are really great. My wife and I are really looking forward to staying there, especially since we just finished renovating our house, which was very stressful.”
Once again, the prize was awarded to someone who could really use a little downtime. NÜRMONT hopes he enjoys his stay. If you’d like to be the next lucky winner, just send us the solution word for the current competition.
