Kollinger continues to grow
Despite the general financial crisis Kollinger Metallbau GmbH has its sights set on growth and is equipping itself for the future by further extending its company premises.
The ground-breaking ceremony for the next 2,150 square-metre production area took place at the end of last year. By spring 2009 already the hall, which is to serve as a high-bay warehouse with an order-picking area, is to be ready for use.
The hall hitherto used for high bay storage will then be available exclusively for the extended assembly department and hence the efficiency of the in-company processes will be further optimised. By extending assembly and enlarging the high-bay warehouse and picking area, Kollinger will be able to deal with the constantly increasing demand for services regarding “all aspects of metal construction". In past years Kollinger has significantly extended these services and made a name for itself owing to this meanwhile extremely broad range of services, and not just for its exceptional vertical range of production.
 
Quality management: Now with DIN ISO certification!
Since January Kollinger possesses the official TÜV seal for the certification of its quality management in compliance with DIN ISO 9001:2000. This certification is a sustained manifestation of what forms the basis of our success:
Transparent and economically efficient business processes and their ongoing optimisation. Top quality: and improving every day for the benefit of our customers.

Metz is 70! Congratulations.
Metz: 70 years of quality “made in Germany” is what is stated in the Website and press release of our customer, Metz. Hearty congratulations to Metz! We are proud of our association with Metz as one of its suppliers, and hence with one of the companies with the longest tradition and greatest success in the German electronics industry. Currently the stand for the new Axio TV model comes from Kollinger; our modest contribution towards the constant first class quality of the products bearing the name of Metz.

 
Shopfitting: Kollinger becomes a member of dlv (German shopfitters’ association).
As Germany’s leading supplier to store construction companies and shopfitters, by becoming a member of the dlv Kollinger intends to continue to stabilise and intensify the existing close relationship to customers. “The objective is to fulfil customers’ wishes even quicker and better” according to Managing Director Thomas Bender, “and that is best achieved in an ongoing dialogue for which the dlv provides the ideal platform.” As a member of the “Netzwerk Ladenbau” (shopfitters’ network) Kollinger is therefore delighted to be the partner to contact for all market participants in the shopfitting field.

Design engineering: Inventor 2009 – the latest version
For 3-D modelling and digital prototyping from now on we will be using Autodesk Inventor 2009, the most recent version of Inventor.
And these are the benefits to you:
- Using this we will create exact 3-D volume models/prototypes with which it is possible to test the shape and function of a design in advance.
- The virtual 3-D model constitutes a photorealistic visualisation of your product, which can be simulated and analysed under almost realistic operating conditions.
- Thanks to digital product development, final designs can be validated at low cost and hence errors avoided at a very early stage in the process.
- The necessity for building physical prototypes is minimised, reducing both development costs and the “time-to-market”.
- The 3-D data generated during the design phase can also be used most efficiently as the input data for production.
