Positive outlook on 2017

HAIGER –  In the second half of 2016 Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik GmbH could win several major orders. Both regional customers and customers from important international export markets trust in the Haiger welding specialists. So CLOOS could record remarkable success again in China after a slight order stagnation during the last two years. "China is still the biggest growing market for robots worldwide," explains managing director Sieghard Thomas. "Therefore we believe in a continuing boom in 2017".

In addition, the company realises further growth on the German core market. Here, mainly highly automated and complex robot systems are in demand. "Already today tool carriers, robots, power sources and master controllers successfully communicate with each other in CLOOS automation systems all over the world," says Thomas. Also in welding technology, the particular challenges are digitalisation and networking. With high-tech products CLOOS intends to stand out clearly from the competitors. "We continuously develop our highly demanding technologies in order to offer always the best solution for our customers", emphasises the managing director. “Thus we further expand our position as technology leader of the industry”. The special strength is in the wide range of competences because, from the idea to the development, construction and production through to training and customer service, CLOOS offers complete solutions from one source.

Due to the positive development, the different production departments are well utilised. That’s the reason why the company will considerably increase the production capacities. It has already started with a new production hall on the former Ritto/LKH site in Haiger. CLOOS bought the neighboured company premises already in 2012. Another extension of the production areas shall be made within the next few years. 

As a global company, the traditional company wishes to grow not only in Haiger but also at the international sites. “With a good international appearance we permanently secure our competitiveness and support our headquarters,” resumes Thomas.
