We´re on the right track! Bucking the trend in the German mechanical engineering sector and despite all the geopolitical ups and downs, we at Kurtz Ersa are growing significantly this year – more than ever before. This is very encouraging – and by no means a given!
This growth is made possible by you, our customers. You see Kurtz Ersa as a global provider of innovative solutions for major megatrends, such as in electronics production: artificial intelligence, energy supply, humanoid robotics, and autonomous driving are driving your business around the globe – and we provide you with smart solutions for the future.
Wherever electronics are produced, we are your partner with our soldering systems and automation solutions. In the field of Particle Foam Machines, we´ll showcase the latest technological developments and applications. And in the field of Additive Manufacturing, we´re on the verge of launching a new system with a true USP in terms of scalability, reproducibility, and homogeneity – read about the current status of our AM business unit.
A key to our success is our “Global Footprint Strategy.” We have evolved our global production sites from a purely low-cost approach to becoming a full-range supplier – with local value creation right at your site. We are consistently rolling out this strategy: Global production expansion is moving forward – first in India, then in Southeast Asia. At the same time, we are continuing to restructure our organization toward greater agility. We see two drivers here: “outside-in” – always driven by you – and “inside-out” through strategic initiatives originating from Kurtz Ersa. We view Kurtz Ersa as a functional organization in which all functional areas mesh seamlessly with a high degree of autonomy, much like a ball bearing. We continue to build on this model, as speed is a decisive factor.
We do all of this sustainably: We recently received the Ecovadis Gold Medal in the independent ESG rating for the first time – and we´re very proud of that! While striving for profit, we demonstrably place the utmost importance on doing so in a sustainable manner over the long term. This applies equally to us here in Germany, in the heart of Europe, as well as at the international and global levels. Everything we do takes place under the umbrella of the strong Kurtz Ersa brand, enabling us to realize all potential and opportunities efficiently and quickly.
In three years, we will celebrate our 250th anniversary. Until then, we want to continue growing together with you and remain number one in everything we do. Our mission as a seventh-generation family-owned company: technological leadership combined with maximum proximity to the market and our customers. In this issue of Kurtz Ersa Magazine, read about the latest developments and exciting success stories from around the globe.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude
for your trust and look forward to our shared future!
Glück auf!
Thomas Mühleck
CEO Kurtz Ersa Group
