Reflections on Our First Project

This was a great first project for KPD Automation.

Working with committed, competent, and traditionally-minded management who safeguarded the project reduced the stress for us tremendously. It allowed us to focus fully on delivering quality work.

We also had the pleasure of collaborating with ten outstanding PLC programmers — all of us aligned in our focus on energy savings and sustainable production.

One standout quality of GROB-WERKE is their honest and forward-thinking approach. Here’s an excerpt from the company’s International Brochure 2024 that captures the essence of the company:

“

“Many of our competitors have already been battling the consequences of falling orders and revenue for two years. We were able to counter this trend thanks to our innovative and diversified products, by continuously analyzing the market requirements and particularly the constant changes in the automotive industry, and transferring these requirements to machine solutions. We were able to achieve great success amongst car manufacturers and in the supplier industry with a range of new developments in metal cutting machines and electric drive and battery system technologies.
We have also increasingly turned our focus towards the aerospace, medical technology, die and mold industry, and energy technology industries to further expand our market share with our universal machining centers and the associated automation solutions.”

To be trusted by such an outstanding company to help them achieve great things was a true honour.

We Move Forward with Gratitude

Our job here is done — and we’re already looking forward to the next collaboration.

As we move on, it’s a good time to share our motto at KPD Automation:

We Trust in People Above All

It’s all about trust.

CLARITY · COMPETENCY · CONSISTENCY · CONTRIBUTION · COMMITMENT · CARE · CONNECTION

We’re thankful for a strong and fulfilling first half of the year — and we’re excited for what’s ahead.

Stay tuned.
