Construction works for new production and storage building have started / Quick completion planned for February 2012. Bohlender GmbH continues expanding and invests in its site in the industrial area „ob der Tauber“ at the Waltersberg in Grünsfeld.
To cope with the growing demand for products of the brands BOLA and SICCO, the construction works for the new hall with an area of 783 square metres have started. It will be used both for warehousing and for the construction of drying cabinets and desiccators. This newer branch with its tradename SICCO is contributing to the success and the yearly double-digit growth of Bohlender GmbH which has its core competence in the production of professional labware made of high-performance plastics under the tradename BOLA.
Last Wednesday at 9 o’clock a.m. managing director Volker Bohlender and his wife Heike, Alfred Beetz, mayor of Grünsfeld, Thomas Maertens, mayor of Lauda-Königshofen and representatives of the companies involved in the project met for the groundbreaking ceremony.
After the ceremony Volker Bohlender addressed an audience thanking mayor Alfred Beetz for the good cooperation and support regarding building permission. Bohlender, who feels very connected to the region, pointed out that the construction works have exclusively been given to regional craftsmen and companies.
Lauda-Königshofen’s mayor Thomas Maertens congratulated Bohlender on the new project and on the continuing success of Bohlender GmbH. He came to a positive conclusion regarding the development of the whole industrial area and honoured Bohlender as one of the first entrepreneurs having moved to the new industrial area already in 2001.
Grünsfeld’s mayor Alfred Beetz honoured Volker Bohlender both as person and as entrepreneur and pointed out the very trustful cooperation and his personal pride on the success of the company which is family-run already in the second generation.
Both mayors confirmed that they will do their best to support the company and to give assistance whenever it is needed.
With the new building, which shall already be finished in February 2012, Bohlender GmbH opens another important chapter of the company’s successful history. The father of managing director Volker Bohlender, Hermann Bohlender, has lead the company founded in 1959 to a considerable enterprise which finally advanced to an internationally respected medium-sized company.
For the future, Volker Bohlender has planned a further growth, also regarding personnel. Already today a new peak has been reached with 55 employees. Part of the company’s future is also the specific qualification and support of junior staff, so that in 2012 there will be for the first time three new trainees in the company. Also the sales department was and will be enlarged. And, according to Volker Bohlender, this is not yet the end of the line: 30 new parking spaces are also part of the building project.
