The opening of a new production hall in Wallern an der Trattnach doubles production capacity for AV Stumpfl
The technology company AV Stumpfl celebrated the opening of its new production hall at its headquarters in Austria during this year’s summer family festival. The new facility adds 2200m² of production space.
Last year, AV Stumpfl invested in new equipment for a second production line and welcomed 20 new team members. Until now, this team was spread across various parts of the company building. With the new production hall, workflows can now be organised more effectively.
Internally, the company describes the opening of a new hall as an investment in the hearts of team members, customers and partners. “We are a company defined by innovation and quality, but we always place our people at the centre of everything we do,” explained Stefanie Niederwimmer, head of AV Stumpfl’s projection screens division. “It’s all about preserving a positive working environment – full of light and space – where everyone feels comfortable and can truly reach their potential.”
The team are already enjoying their new working environment, with the hall officially completed and fully operational.
