SIP business
An investment-intensive year is behind us One of the most important business decisions of a company is to what extent and in what areas to invest in. In SIP, despite the difficult period during the pandemic, planned investments did not stop. The second half of 2020 was extremely active in terms of investment. Below, we and the employees who are most involved in them present the areas in which we have updated the premises and equipment.
New hall Generations before us have provided us with premises which we have used to a great extent to this day. In order to continue to grow and adhere to our plans in the future, we provided everything necessary last year to be able to start building a production hall today. We are entering a demanding market segment that requires greater specialisation of machines as well as a higher degree of flexibility. Therefore, the new covered areas will be used primarily for the preparation of machines before shipment and interphase storage of accessories. As the new hall is located between the storage and production facilities, we will simultaneously solve most of the current logistics challenges, namely the physical receipt of deliveries and the commissioning of spare parts. The hall will be entirely at the same level with a floor area of 21 x 140 m and a height of 9 m. Thus, we acquire 2,709 m2 of new surface area. The main personnel passages and sectional industrial doors are planned on the north and south sides, where the building ends with a canopy. Several personnel and transport crossings are planned to connect with the existing facilities. The facade of the building will be made of aluminium sandwich panels, and the

roof will be single-pitched with a slope of 6 ° and will incorporate light portals. The entire premises will be heated/ cooled via wall convectors of the VRF system and forced ventilated (summer and winter mode with energy recovery). All heat and cooling energy needs will be provided by a VRF type heat pump installed on the roof of the building. Two crane tracks will be installed along the entire length of the hall, and five bridge cranes with a load capacity of two tons will be installed along each of them. All construction and assembly works are expected to be completed in the first week of March next year. After completing all the necessary formalities, we expect to be granted the permit a month later. Currently, several infrastructure projects and renovations are underway. After the construction of the toilets in logistics, the toilets on the floor of the annex of the Trimo 2 hall are now being built, and the works on the ground floor will soon follow. In the immediate vicinity, premises are being renovated which in the future will be intended for the maintenance team (workshop and offices) and on the first floor, premises are being prepared for the offices for operational managers of production, planning, quality control and finalisation technology.
