SALZGITTER MACHINENBAU AG
“ We have a great production network with facilities in separate countries from our headquarters here in Salzgitter and our process engineering in Braunschweig ( Brunswick ) Lower Saxony . We also have production facilities for grabs in Chennai , India , and the production facility for spreaders is in the greater area of Shanghai , China , with headquarters in Singapore .
“ We are a very global network . As a middle-sized German company with a sales volume turnover of € 300 million , we can leverage this production network and the sourcing possibilities that [ go ] along with that . Also , to have a construction base with very skilled engineers in India , and also here with our traditional construction in Germany , is a great asset , which few middle-sized German companies actually have .”
Commenting on how SMAG continued to operate during the pandemic , Veith , who started with the company in November 2019 , said he was fortunate enough to travel to India and Singapore to see the facilities before restrictions were in place .
“ We switched to Zoom or Team meetings and adapted our facilities for increased health and safety , but apart from that , our supply chain has been very stable . We see transportation costs going up , but overall , we have not had any shutdowns due to lack of supplies , which [ proves ] our business model works and that our supply chains are very stable . constructionglobal . com 35
