Dr Dietmar Woidke, the Governor of the German state of Brandenburg, accepted an invitation from KRONOPLY to visit the company’s Heiligengrabe site on 2 December 2014. He arrived accompanied by Stefanie Aust of the State Chancellery Office, State Parliamentary Undersecretary Katrin Lange and Mike Blechschmidt of the association Wachstumskern Autobahndreieck Wittstock Dosse.
During Dr Woidke’s visit, attention focused on the dialogue between policymakers and business. The main topics talked about were:
- The SWISS Krono Group, KRONOPLY and KRONOTEX
- Current energy-policy shifts in Germany
- Demographic trends and their effects on employment policies and strategies
- Recruitment and training of young people at the Heiligengrabe site
- Resource-conserving, efficient use of wood (through cascading or sequential use)
After the conversation, the managing directors of KRONOPLY took Governor Woidke on a tour of the flooring department and explained the processes involved in the final stage of manufacturing laminate floors. He got an idea of the state-of-the-art systems involved and what they are capable of. In particular, the investments made in machines and equipment and the organisation of work (the shift system, breakdown of tasks, etc.) were discussed in detail.
Special attention was paid to the need for continual new investments in order to develop new product categories. Innovations of this kind are vital for lastingly ensuring the site’s competitiveness and providing job security.
