Wittmann opens expanded technology centre in Nuremberg

In early July 2025, Wittmann Battenfeld Deutschland opened its expanded and redesigned application technology centre at its facility in Nuremberg, Germany. The opening was celebrated with a customer-facing event.

Through this investment, the Wittmann Group will offer its customers and partners in the country more opportunity to familiarise themselves with Wittmann products and technologies firsthand. By focusing on sustainability, the company also aims to present itself as a reliable partner as the Metal Injection Molding industry evolves at faster rates.

“Reducing the CO₂ footprint is an absolute necessity. Measures to increase energy efficiency and sustainability only have a chance if they also pay off economically,” stated Andreas Schramm, Managing Director of the German subsidiary of the Austrian Wittmann Group. “This is exactly what our developers have firmly in mind. In our new technical centre, economic sustainability can be experienced directly.”

The capacities in the technical centre are available to all Wittmann Group customers for individual presentations, joint development work, technical application consulting, material and mold trials as well as factory acceptance tests.

Two large injection molding machines are located in the Nuremberg technical centre, with example applications changing frequently. A servo-hydraulic SmartPower and an all-electric EcoPower injection molding machine were the first to produce guest gifts on the opening day. Both machines’ high energy efficiency, digital assistance systems and the processing of recycled materials all contribute to CO₂ savings.

“With complete solutions, we can precisely coordinate all components of the production cell right from the start and thus exploit efficiency and quality potential particularly well,” added Schramm. “The Wittmann Group offers solutions from its own development and production across the entire production process – from material preparation, injection molding, temperature control and automation to inline recycling and the integration of digital solutions. Only Wittmann can do this in this depth.”

Other exhibits in the new technical centre will present innovations from the areas of mold temperature control, peripherals, automation, recyclate processing and 4.0 networking. Highlights noted by the company include smart recycling packages, the Expert MouldTemp assistance system, the WX90 servo removal unit and the Feedmax Clean conveyor unit with integrated dedusting.

The technical centre also features a new meeting area wherein customers and partners can gather to network and have project discussions. “We make this information corner available to our customers and partners,” stated Schramm. “We offer an appealing atmosphere, top equipment and state-of-the-art presentation facilities – for example for product presentations or events, whether for a day or an entire week.”
