Ellerbrock after the fire: We are still alive

After the fire that completely destroyed the production plant at Marangoni’s German subsidiary Ellerbrock, North of Hamburg three weeks ago, the well known retread technology producer has stopped worrying about the past. Rather, Ellerbrock is occupied with plans for the future. The immediate goal is to reconstruct the plant by the end of next year, company officials told T&A.

They didn’t reveal the total investment but will ensure that the new plant will process at least as much rubber as the old one, i.e. 15,000 tons per year.

According to the plans, Ellerbrock’s new plant will become the most modern in Europe. In the meantime, 20 employees have been posted to two Marangoni plants in Italy in order to prevent the company from encountering delivery difficulties. For the first few weeks after the fire, Ellerbrock has been doing business from the stock.
