GEA Refrigeration Technologies opens freezer plant in Dijon
(PresseBox) - Bochum (Germany), June 28, 2013 ? In June of 2013 GEA Refrigeration Technologies opened a new Freezer Competence Center in Dijon (France). The new ?Technology Center Freezing Europe? immedi-ately began to manufacture and assemble spiral chillers and freezers from the GEA A-Tec and GEA Maxi-Stack ranges. These systems primarily chill or freeze foods produced as ready meals and as meat, bakery, and ice cream products. Until now, these spiral freezer series were exclusively manufactured in Vancouver (Canada). The expansion of production capacity by the new Dijon plant will have positive effects, especially for customers in Europe: they profit from greater flexibility in planning and contract execution, shorter delivery times, reduced transport costs, and a closer-located new Service Center. In addition to these production facilities, medium-term plans for Dijon also include manufacturing of a key core component for the GEA Maxi-Stack system, the patented self-stacking conveyor belt ? the GEA Q-Belt.
One of the factors in selection of Dijon as production location was its proximity to a GEA Farm Technol-ogies plant in which stainless steel milk tanks are produced. This geographical nearness offers the com-pany greater synergism in purchasing stainless steel materials and in processing.
Dr. Hugo Blaum, Segment President of GEA Refrigeration Technologies, made the following remarks on the occasion of the plant opening: ?Owing to sales prognosis, implementation of freezer production in Europe was a logical development. A win-win situation will be offered in Dijon: our customers profit from the proximity of the plant and from lower logistics costs ? and the location enables additional opportunities for even better market penetration in Europe.?
