A B Graphic International (ABG) has announced a significant expansion of its manufacturing site in Baesweiler, Germany. Originally acquired by ABG in 2006, the Baesweiler facility currently spans 2300 m². The expansion, which began in December 2024, will nearly double the footprint to an impressive 4400 m² with the addition of a custom built facility at the same location. The move reinforces ABG’s commitment to the German market and its customers.
The Baesweiler site plays a pivotal role in ABG’s operations, producing key products such as slitter rewinders (SRI3), booklet machines, FleyeVision camera inspection systems and specialist rewinders to name just a few. The new facility will consolidate the current warehouse, workshop and paint booth, allowing the existing space to be repurposed as a dedicated specialist demonstration centre and streamlined production zones. This strategic development effectively doubles the company’s production floor space, enhancing its ability to meet increased customer demand.
This expansion will enable shorter production times and accommodate larger schedules. By doubling the available production footprint, it is well positioned to drive growth across all departmental areas, ensuring it can continue to deliver leading solutions.
‘Our Baesweiler facility has been integral to our operations and customer satisfaction,’ said Matt Burton, global sales director. ‘This expansion underlines our dedication to the German market and our long term strategy to invest in areas where demand for our products is strongest.’
‘As well as operational growth, this new development will create skilled job opportunities for the local community, whilst also offering career development for our existing workforce, aligning with ABG’s vision of combining business growth with meaningful contributions to the local economy,’ said Ralf Wirtz, ABG GmbH’s managing director.
The necessity of the expansion is amplified by the increased demand for the company’s solutions. A recent milestone includes a label group purchasing 16 FleyeVision camera inspection systems. The enhanced capacity will further strengthen ABG’s ability to meet such demands and maintain its leadership in the field.
