Designed to expand manufacturing capacity and optimize production processes, the new plant enhances operational flexibility and enables Oerlikon HRSflow to deliver faster, more efficient and higher-quality solutions across its entire product range.

Primarily dedicated to advanced machining and lathing operations, the facility’s opening also led to a reorganization of the company’s other manufacturing buildings in Italy. Production activities were consolidated by process and product - for example, with a dedicated area now focused exclusively on multi-cavity solutions - streamlining workflows and improving overall efficiency. 

Covering a total area of 2,000 square meters, the new building has been designed according to Lean Manufacturing principles to boost productivity, minimize waste and better meet customer demand. Significant investments have also been made in automation, ensuring maximum use of production capacity while maintaining the highest standards of quality and flexibility required by the injection molding industry. As a result, Oerlikon HRSflow can now more rapidly meet the diverse configuration requirements of its customers.

In line with Oerlikon HRSflow’s commitment to sustainability, the new facility is equipped with a photovoltaic system. Combined with the solar panels already installed on the roofs of other production buildings and in the parking area, renewable energy now accounts for approximately 20% of the company’s total electricity consumption. Additionally, next-generation electric vehicle charging stations have been installed to support sustainable mobility for employees and visitors.

"2025 was a very challenging year due to the management of the new building”, states Matteo Polesello, Plant Manager at Oerlikon HRSflow. “In just 24 weeks, we relocated and activated our CNC machines along with all the necessary equipment. The new facility, with its controlled temperature, ensures machining and measurement stability, making it easier for lathe operators to maintain extremely tight tolerances."

“This achievement represents months of dedicated work involving several departments across the organization,” said Umberto Santin, Chief Operating Officer at Oerlikon HRSflow. “Despite the complexity of the reorganization, we ensured uninterrupted delivery of our hot runner systems to customers. My sincere thanks go to all our teams and partners for managing both internal and external activities so effectively, meeting deadlines and maintaining operational continuity while minimizing downtime.”
