The demands of the mechanical engineering sector are changing. Markets are shifting, supply chains are evolving, and specialisation is increasingly becoming a key factor for success. Against this backdrop, ELHA-MASCHINENBAU Liemke GmbH & Co. KG is restructuring its value chain and will gradually phase out its in-house mechanical manufacturing by the first quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In-house mechanical manufacturing was an important part of the company for many years. In particular, strong demand from the automotive industry led to a steady expansion of production capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the market situation has changed, the focus of the business has also shifted. Demand from the automotive industry has declined significantly in recent years. Consequently, capacity utilisation in our in-house mechanical manufacturing operations was increasingly failing to meet the economic and strategic requirements of a forward-looking engineering company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following an in-depth analysis, the decision was therefore taken, with a heavy heart, to phase out our in-house mechanical manufacturing in a controlled manner and to cease it completely by the first quarter of 2027. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In future, ELHA will source all the necessary components from qualified partners. The components will be tested and quality-assured at the site, and then assembled in-house to form the tried-and-tested ELHA machines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ELHA thus follows a model that has become established in large parts of the mechanical engineering sector: a focus on the core competencies of development, design, assembly, automation and service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure we can continue to respond flexibly to customer requirements, selected machines will remain in-house for reworking and modifications. This will enable us to continue implementing short-notice optimisations quickly and efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the discontinuation of in-house production, a significant proportion of the warehouse space at the \u201eAllee 16\u201c site in the centre of H\u00f6velhofer will become available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In future, operational functions will be increasingly consolidated at Plant 2 on the Otto-Hahn-Stra\u00dfe 27 line. This physical consolidation will enable shorter distances, more efficient processes and closer integration between the individual business units. At the same time, it will generate synergies in the areas of logistics, material flow and collaboration between teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both the mechanical and mechatronics training workshops will remain at the site in the town centre and will be specifically expanded there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reorientation of our value creation is an important step towards ensuring ELHA remains competitive in the long term. By focusing on our own strengths, efficient structures and close collaboration with high-performing partners, we are laying the foundations to continue offering our customers cost-effective, innovative and technologically advanced solutions in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
