Mayor of Zülpich visits innovative production at Launhardt
The family-run Launhardt production company has been run by the second generation since 2021. Founded by Erich Launhardt in 1997, the Launhardt brothers, Dr. Martin Launhardt and Christian Launhardt, took over management in April 2021. Since then, in addition to expanding traditional production, the innovative industrial production of additive manufacturing, industrial 3D printing, has been established and massively expanded.
The location in Zülpich's industrial park is characterized by good motorway access and close proximity to the city center. The expansion of production will create more jobs in production, as well as in engineering and administration.
The pioneering technology of 3D printing, in particular, allows for an optimistic outlook for the future. In addition to the basic materials for industrial 3D printing systems, Launhardt also offers the direct production of three-dimensional components. Even in times of greatest uncertainty and supply bottlenecks, 3D printing enables the maintenance of supply chains. This way, ongoing series production can be maintained and jobs secured.
Zülpich is an ideal location for expanding production, and Launhardt is already in discussions with the city about a possible site expansion in Zülpich's industrial park. In this context, we were delighted to welcome the Mayor of Zülpich, Mr. Ulf Hürtgen, and the City Councilor and Treasurer, Mr. Ottmar Voigt, to our company in May 2022.
