INSIGHT – T OWNSEND FUR THER PROCESSING Product is shipped from Nitra directly to the customer. Lean manufacturing ensure that the different products are delivered on time without any concessions on quality and finish. The Slovak site is structured on the ‘lean manufacturing’ model and principle. The advantage of this is that all the concern’s energy and creativity is focused on optimizing all those aspects which the customer finds valuable such as price, quality, delivery times, maintenance costs and anti-pollution tax with costs being distributed over the production chain and between its individual links in the soundest possible manner. Short term, we anticipate a further expansion of our Slovak site at Nitra. The success of the SpiralOven, ModularOven and our QX-systems with pre and post dry systems will no doubt have contributed to this. Have a look at our Slovak site in Nitra for yourself.
