Molsheim, 02/2024
A large-scale project has been completed at Mercedes-Benz Trucks Molsheim.
Since 2022, the teams have been working on the complete renewal of the laser machine fleet. This has now been achieved with the commissioning of our three new fiber laser machines, connected to an automatic warehouse and equipped, for two of them, with a fully automated sorting system.
In the presence of Bystronic France, with whom we have worked closely, the Molsheim teams inaugurated these new fiber laser installations in early February. The event brought together all involved teams, as well as key personalities such as Guy Siebert, President of Mercedes-Benz Trucks France, and Hugues Cousseau, General Manager of Bystronic France, both of whom highlighted the commitment and work of the teams of this project.
This is the largest installation ever carried out by Bystronic on French soil. A significant investment for our company, which has made customer quality a priority.
This installation is also part of a production decarbonization initiative, as this technology combines efficiency and productivity with energy efficiency.
Last but not least, the new facility will also lead to a significant improvement in working conditions for laser sector employees. The installation of automated storage warehouses and sorting systems eliminates the need for manual handling of sheet metal, thus improving workstation ergonomics.
Quality, ergonomics, and the environment: a winning combination for the Mercedes-Benz Trucks Molsheim factory, more focused on the future than ever before.
