Bizerba Opens New Location with Showroom in Hengelo

Balingen, 09/12/2023

| Employees and partners of the weighing technology specialist, Bizerba, gathered in the municipality of Hengelo for the ceremonial inauguration of a new sales and service location. This significant milestone marks an important step in the company's history and reflects its continuous pursuit of excellence and innovation.

Founded as a scale factory in 1866 in Balingen (Germany), Bizerba has evolved into an internationally operating and globally present solution specialist. In 2003, a subsidiary was established in the Netherlands: Bizerba Nederland B.V. Over the years, the subsidiary has steadily and dynamically developed, nearly doubling its team size. Until recently, the location in Enschede served as the headquarters of the Dutch branch.

A Fresh Start for a Promising Future

During the opening ceremony, Andreas W. Kraut, CEO & shareholder of the Bizerba Group, was present. In his opening speech, he stated, "It was time to take the next steps." To meet the growing demands of a modern workplace and a contemporary presentation area, the bold decision was made to invest in a new, modern building in Hengelo. Kraut further emphasized, "With this new location, we are not only expressing our confidence in the future but also highlighting our commitment to outstanding performance and technological leadership."

A Symbol for the Future

The inauguration of Bizerba's new site represents a significant stride into the company's future and its relationship with the Hengelo community. The modern setup and outstanding showroom mirror the company's longstanding successes and promise exciting developments in the years ahead.

Ton Kommers, Managing Director of Bizerba Nederland, looks forward to the new opportunities that the new building offers: "Here, we can warmly welcome our customers, understand their needs in an inspiring environment, and celebrate our joint successes with them. We take pride in achieving this meaningful milestone and eagerly anticipate deepening our partnerships and driving innovations forward together."
