Project requirements
Due to the infrastructural conditions, all project sections had to be carried out within an existing building complex in a confined space and without affecting existing processes. Much to the satisfaction of Werner Schmidt, Head of Technics, Pharmaceutical Production and Logistics Takeda:
“The commitment of HÖRMANN Klatt Conveyors and its employees, above all the project management, was enormous and extremely professional at all times. Project phases were carried out as planned. Challenges were addressed openly and immediately integrated into the existing planning. Our decision to commission HÖRMANN Klatt Conveyors with this difficult system was the right one and would be made again at any time. From our point of view, the implementation went wonderfully.”
