WENZEL GROUP ACHIEVES RECORD 9000TH MEASURING INSTALLATION

The WENZEL Group is celebrating following the installation of its landmark 9000th high-tech measuring machine. Designed and manufactured by WENZEL, the product follows another important milestone in the German metrology specialist’s history, with the firm also recently commemorating its 50th year in the business. The installation of the WENZEL LH 1512 3D Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) coincides with a record-breaking output of almost €92m for the company in 2018, with strong sales success across its four regions DACH, EMEA, Asia and America. The CMM purchase also comes full circle with the WENZEL’s prestigious history, with the very first measuring machine sold in Austria and now its 9000th going to another firm in the region, voestalpine Krems GmbH. With growth expected over the next few years, the record-breaking sale is exemplary of the German firm’s strong position in the metrology market, as well as a mark of how measurement products are heading into the digital era. Lauding the landmark installation and prosperity across the region, Dr. Heike Wenzel, managing partner of WENZEL Group GmbH & Co. KG, said: “In 1981, the very first measuring machine built by WENZEL was sold by GGW Gruber in Austria. Now, the 9000th machine manufactured in the German factory with the serial number 189000 has also gone to Austria. That cannot be a coincidence.”
