After a five-year project duration and a total investment of approximately 10 million euros, Werner Schmid GmbH celebrated the official opening of its new plastics processing facility last Monday. The opening does not mark the end of the project, however, as we have been in the process of relocating while continuing operations since the end of the construction phase in the spring of 2025. This is a highly complex project in its own right; after all, the move must take place smoothly, without interrupting serial production and without affecting the quality of our products.

In recent years, Werner Schmid GmbH has made significant investments in the construction of its new plastics processing facility on its existing site. A key aspect of this project is the acquisition of a new material drying and conveying system from Werner Koch Maschinentechnik, which centrally supplies all injection molding machines with granule that has been dried and temperature-controlled to meet specific requirements.

For several years now, the world has been undergoing a geopolitical upheaval that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Global rules that were previously considered unshakable have been broken in one way or another by various actors on the world stage.

For 70 years now, Werner Schmid has relied on its in-house toolmaking department – not only to manufacture forming tools and precision molds that meet specific requirements, but also to provide ongoing maintenance and rapid repairs in the event of wear and damage.

Apprenticeship training has a long and successful tradition at Werner Schmid GmbH: We are proud to have been continuously training apprentices in various technical and business-related fields for over 75 years. In times of demographic change, training our own next generation is becoming even more important.
