Construction is underway of an ultra-modern and eco-friendly manufacturing plant by Starrag Group company, Bumotec. The new 14,000 m2 factory will enable the Switzerland-based machine tool builder to maintain its lead in the development and manufacture of machines for the production of highly-accurate ‘micro’ parts for industry sectors including computer, medical and electronics in addition to watchmaking and jewellery.
The roof of the futuristic glass-covered factory will incorporate a large solar-panel, which in turn will operate in conjunction with a climate control system that will maintain temperatures within 1 degC – ideally suited for the manufacture of the company’s turn-mill machines and transfer machining centres.
