Three decades of focus on growth:
BraunForm - 30 Years of Plastics Technology at its Best
Bahlingen,
Germany. In an industry as young and volatile as plastics manufacturing,
a company as old as BraunForm could earn the nickname "gramps". Still,
with 30 years experience under its belt, the plastics injection mold
maker specialist in Bahlingen, Germany has more reason to focus on the
future than the past.
What began in
1977 with a handful of employees in a cramped office space has
developed into today`s BraunForm - an international mold maker,
plastics- and pharma producer, employing 217 highly trained individuals
in state-of-the-art facilities designing and manufacturing injection
molds along with the production of millions of plastic parts resulting
in the generating annual revenues surpassing $26 million Euro. But size
alone was never the injection mold specialist`s goal. Instead,
ingenuity has always been key at BraunForm. Since the very beginning,
the company`s new and innovative ideas were turning the seemingly
impossible into reality. As word spread, BraunForm soon found itself
expanding, then expanding again to keep up with the demand for its
top-quality injection mold solutions.
First Choice for Top Industries
Nowaday, it`s
the most demanding industries that turn to BraunForm for custom
solutions. Thanks to the company`s proven know-how in materials,
processes and production, very often BraunForm is taken on board very
early in the product development stage. Top companies in the personal
care, pharma and diagnostics, automotive and electric industries rely
not only on BraunForm engineering competence (e.g. in multi-component,
multi-cavity, high-precision or stack molds), but also on the
mold-makerīs highly specialized production capacities, including
production in clean room GMP class C and D. BraunForm`s current ability
to offer such a diverse array of services is a direct result of its
steadfast foresight to continuously invest in technology, facilities,
infrastructure, and, most importantly, its people.
Fit for the Future with Motivated Employees
Indeed, the
most important factor of the BraunForm success story ist its people.
Qualification and training play a decisive role, and provide the
foundation to carry the company soundly into the future. Over the last
three decades, nearly 135 apprentices received quality training to
become skilled at various professions throughout BraunForm. Today, over
half of these individuals remain with the company, including the very
first two apprentices.
Complex
projects like DIN ISO 9001 and 14001 implementation are only feasible
with employees who are future oriented and support compay goals. In
addition, the high level at which employees identify themselves as
members of the BraunForm family has been instumental in earning the
company its almost legendary reputation among its customers as an
absolutely reliable, service-oriented partner.
Looking Toward a Bright Future
Just in time
for its 30-years anniversary, the company is doing something typical
for BraunForm. It is taking on a new venture - this time creating a new
multi-material mold for ceramic injection molding. Fine tuned by
experience, staffed by excellent employees, and supported by the strong
management due of Erich Braun and Pamela Gut, BraunForm is enviably
prepared for tomorrow. And this is reason to celebrate - not just for
BraunForm, but also for the community of Bahlingen, for which BraunForm
is a reliable supplier of secure employment.
