On around 2000 m², the technology center with laboratory, testing, office and storage areas will offer the possibility of designing customer-specific solutions in an even more targeted manner in the future. This will enable the separation technology specialist to meet growing customer requirements and support the development of new innovations and technologies. Flottweg’s supervisory board and board members Dr. Kersten Link and Klaus Huber were joined by Vilsbiburg’s mayor Sibylle Entwistle and district administrator Peter Dreier for the ground-breaking ceremony.

Process Center as an extension to Plant 2

With the construction of the new Process Center, Flottweg is expanding Plant 2, which was opened in Vilsbiburg in 2021, thus enabling the separation technology specialist’s steady growth. The Process Center will house the laboratory, a technical center as a test area, a warehouse and modern office space. The aim of the new test center is to further advance the development and testing of new separation processes and to offer customers worldwide even more efficient and environmentally friendly process solutions. This makes it a central element of the machine and plant manufacturer’s long-term growth strategy. As a hotbed of innovation, the Process Center will intensify cooperation with customers in future, while at the same time enabling the testing and optimization of new processes and procedures. The outdoor area also provides space for the mobile test facilities, which are used for on-site trials at the customer’s premises. The Process Center is scheduled to open at the end of 2025.
