The municipality of Brunegg is a tranquil village in the canton of Aargau. Located in northern Switzerland, it represents pretty much everything you would expect from such a place: Scattered between the Reuss Valley and the Lower Bünz Valley, a few dozen houses blend into the lush greenery of the surrounding lush forest. Brunegg Castle towers over all this and appears to be watching over the village at the top of the Chestenberg at the top of the Chestenberg. But Brunegg is not just home to a picturesque idyll. For over 65 years, this remote town has been home to a company that can be described as a hidden champion in the truest sense of the word: Türenfabrik Brunegg AG is the leading manufacturer of wooden door systems in Switzerland. Over the course of the company's history, more than eight million Brunex door leaves have left the plant in Aargau. As a partner of specialist retailers as well as carpenters, planners and architects, the company stands for innovation, quality and appealing design.
Previously, they worked with a grinding machine from a manufacturer who had to stop production in mid-2016. Since this also jeopardized service and the purchase of spare parts, Brunex felt compelled to find a new, reliable partner. The requirements were clearly defined: The new grinding machine had to be integrated into the existing production line, be controlled fully automatically and be able to communicate with the other machines in the production chain.
Contact with Heesemann was established via HOMAG AG. And after the initial exploratory talks, it quickly became clear that the needs of Swiss door manufacturers were a perfect match for Westphalia's offerings. To ensure that the new machine also met the specific requirements, the entire project was supervised by the managing directors of the two companies.
For example, a delegation led by managing director Christoph Giese and design manager Klaus-Dieter Grave traveled from Bad Oeynhausen to Aargau to define together with the Brunex team led by managing director Martin Eisele on site which expansions and additional functions are needed. “The collaboration was very intensive, thorough and efficient. In a very detailed process, the machine was configured together on site,” says the Heesemann managing director, summarizing this phase.
In addition to the successful integration into the production line, the MMI package in particular was an important part of the new solution. “We produce fully automatically. It is therefore invaluable to see at first glance what status the machine is in from afar,” explains Martin Eisele. It quickly became clear: It should be an MFA 10 for the road and an MFA Impression for the special production. “The ability to configure and adapt the new machines exactly to our ideas was ultimately decisive for working with Heesemann,” Eisele explains the decision. But Bad Oeynhausen was also very satisfied with the collaboration. “It is unusual to carry out a project so thoroughly and in a very trusting relationship at all levels. But that was the fastest way for us to find a joint solution. Overall, I'm very happy with how the collaboration went,” summarizes Giese. And the opportunity to travel to this beautiful spot between Reusstal and Bünztal was certainly also very welcome.
