The workshop at the Steinhaus location was thoroughly examined by the Fraunhofer-Austria Institute. Whose manufacturing is the most efficient? That was the key question being asked for the ‘Fabrik2015’ award. As a manufacturer of industrial plants, Kremsmueller was thought to be a complete outsider among the mass producers of electronics and chips, with small chances to be among the finalists – wrongly, as events showed. “We won points in a lot of categories. The jury was convinced by the amount of innovation in pressure vessels and large steel construction parts. To win the silver medal in this field of top-class participants is big recognition for us“, says Gregor Kremsmueller. The Fraunhofer-Austria production specialist Christina Lemmerer liked the company credo: maximum automation and digitisation within the process steps, maximum flexibility between them. A recipe for success for the Kremsmueller production, which has to adapt itself to the most varied conditions – from smart jobbing production of components weighing tonnes to partly standardised production sequences.
