The unit will require an initial investment of approximately EUR 6 million. “The new plant will supply our units with enclosures and sheet metal components, ”says Rune Glavare, President and CEO of PartnerTech. “It will be a state-of-the-art facility that combines a high level of automation and flexibility. The unit will serve as a production hub for the group. It is scheduled to be up and running in the second quarter of 2010.
