Due to positive business developments CFS will build a new factory for peeling, slicing, loading / automation and traysealing equipment in Kempten, Germany and make major investments in upgrading the existing factory for packaging materials in Kempten, Germany. These investments are part of the implementation of CFS’ more customer focused organisation, which was announced earlier in April.

CFS makes a double digit Million Euro investment to build a brand new purpose-built factory in Buehl, a suburb of Kempten in Bavaria, Germany and in upgrading the existing factory in Kempten, which will then be exclusively dedicated to the production of packaging materials. This investment decision is a consequence of the very positive business development of CFS, especially in the area of slicing, loading / automation and traysealing equipment, as well as packaging materials

The new factory in Buehl, Kempten:

A plot of 20,000 square metres with an option for further expansion has been bought. The new factory will have a production floor-space of 6,600 square metres with a further 2,200 square metres for offices. Some 240 employees will work here to produce peeling, slicing, loading / automation and traysealing equipment. CFS expects the new factory in Bühl to be completed by September 2006.
