SLM Solutions Moves to New Headquarters
The expanded facility will support increased production of the company's selective laser melting systems.
SLM Solutions Group AG has moved into its new headquarters in Lübeck, Germany. The 270,000-square-foot facility is located on a 17-acre parcel with room for additional future expansion. The new building represents a 56 percent increase over the company’s former location, offering ample space for the 350 on-site employees, an additive manufacturing applications technology center to aid customer process development and streamlined production of selective laser melting systems for the global market.
Based in Lübeck since 1957, SLM Solutions says that its expanded footprint will optimize its supply chain while streamlining and expanding its manufacturing capabilities in a modern, sustainable working environment. In addition to increasing production capabilities for its selective laser melting systems, SLM Solutions expanded the facilities and resources for its applications team to continue partnering with customers in process and parameter development on up to benchmark 16 machines. Dedicated classrooms with machines are available for customer training and best-practices, such as a finishing room ventilation system, are on display for customer consultations.
The new headquarters also includes space for corporate sales and administration offices as well as a full spare parts warehouse and service department.
