TLC can produce a maximum of 20,000 t of steel structures a year, with components measuring up to 30 m in length and weighing 25 t, for equipment such as material handlers, cranes and telescopic loaders.

It will manufacturer key products including telescopic cranes, lower trolley component of mobile cranes, footstands, upper carriage chassis, cabin lifting units, sliding plates, lifting machines for material transfer cranes.

According to Sennebogen, sustainability was a key focus in the plant’s design. It is “equipped with a photovoltaic system with an output of 2.4 megawatts, so that it will be energy self-sufficient with the electrical power generated from the PV system”, the company said.

“The office building is also heated with energy-efficient underfloor heating and the production hall with low-temperature heating via concrete core activation.”

The plant was officially inaugurated by Walter Sennebogen and Michael Seiferling, the Managing Director of the site, as well as the Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Péter Szijjártó, and MP Károly Kontrát.
