With the acquisition of the renowned Belgian company Hansen Industrial Transmissions NV, Sumitomo Drive Technologies integrated the production of industrial gear units into its portfolio as early as 2011 and can also offer all related services at its Edegem site. If the other pillars of the company are added: precision gear units, gearmotors, centrifuge drives and complete drive packages, industrial gearbox sector now accounts for around one third of the total sales of Sumitomo Drive Technologies in EMEIA.
Sumitomo is bundling its decades of joint experience and expertise in Spain as well and, with the establishment of the PARAMAX Competence Center, is creating a clear commitment to the San Sebastián location. Despite the worldwide crisis situation, the company is sticking to its measures/investments, thus creating future-oriented jobs and a reliable/sustainable contact point for industrial customers not only in Spain and Portugal, but also in the entire economic region of EMEIA.
In San Sebastián, a central office is being built where distribution, production, assembly, maintenance/repairs, warehouse logistics and customer services for the PARAMAX series will be available from one single source. In future, everything from small quantities to large orders will be processed here in a timely and customer-oriented manner. The conversion and expansion of the existing production facility took place over the last 9 months and was completed in October despite the local lockdown measures.
