In Sweden it is described as the most modern production hall for producing steel frames and advanced steel structures: the production facility from Lecor Stålteknik AB, where as many as eight Voortman systems are running operationally. To show the brand new premises, Managing Director Tennce Carlsson organised an Open House on the 17th of November. Voortman and Swedish dealer Richard Steen were on site during this day.
From 10.00 a.m. until 16:00 p.m. the premises was open for the invited attendees. In total of 200 interested visitors came to Kungälv to see the Voortman machines running LIVE during ongoing demonstrations and presentations, as well as a round tours through the entire production plant.
In the afternoon, lunch was served in the middle of the facility where people discussed about the steel machinery and the new Lecor premises. Afterwards the visitors had the possibility to weld connection plates to steel profiles.
Tennce Carlsson from Lecor: “In Sweden there has been a great need for using more automation to produce more cost-effective steel structures. The assembly hall in our new production facility in Kungälv, has a new set of automated machines, that provide new opportunities with high efficiency.
Lecor Stålteknik AB is one of the leading steel technology companies and we have a wide range of steel projects in our track record: New ski jump at Holmenkollen in Oslo, the roof of the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, several bridges, process plants, offshore installations and more. Now we have the most modern production facility that gives us new opportunities to take on even more advanced projects and we look forward to exciting new challenges.”
Area Sales Manager Sebastiaan van Haarst from Voortman is positive about the Open House: “The presence of Voortman during this Open House had the desired effect: The invited steel fabricators were very interested in our steel fabrication equipment and wished more detailed information on the possibilities of our machinery”.
