Steinmeyer Inc. has announced that its main ball screw manufacturing facility located in Albstadt, Germany, has completed another plant expansion project. In 2007 Steinmeyer had expanded its manufacturing operation by adding 20,000 square meters to accommodate more production equipment. Due to further increased ball screw demand worldwide, it was necessary to add another 2,240 square meters of space. This space is being utilised to accommodate more production equipment and to further stream line the production process to assist in reducing lead times.
The Steinmeyer group is comprised of two manufacturing divisions located in Germany. August Steinmeyer GmbH & Co. KG (located in Albstadt) has been setting standards for high precision ball screws for over 40 years and prides itself on high quality, innovative designs to meet demanding customer requirements. The Feinmess Dresden (FMD) division has been producing an extensive line of high precision positioning systems for well over 130 years.
