Gardner Denver Nash has restructured its European service activities. Beginning in October, 2009, in-house repairs in Germany have been centralised at the service center in Nuremberg. With the integration of the two former German service sites, Wetzlar and Nuremberg, a larger service center for the entire Nash pump range has been established in Nuremberg. While the Wetzlar service center has been closed, a new aftermarket sales office was opened nearby.
At the Nuremberg site, a six-figure investment was made in machines, installations and workstations. As a result, capacity in the coating and sand-blasting areas has been increased. The repair times have therefore been reduced and the flexibility of Nash on-site service has increased. Furthermore, due to the integration, synergies have grown in the fields of warehousing, new pump assembly and mechanical manufacturing. The service activities also benefit from the existing on-site manufacturing capacities: Modern machining centers and cranes for heavy loads can also be used by the service technicians. The location of Nuremberg, at the heart of Europe and at the intersection of important freeways, was an additional reason for this decision.
