BITZER has been manufacturing reciprocating compressors and condensing units at the Schkeuditz site, Germany, for a similar period of time since 1991.
In November 2019, local production broke the three-million barrier – the anniversary product was received by Carsten Bräuer, Head of Development and Testing at Vötsch in Balingen, Germany.
Vötsch in Balingen develops and builds test systems for quality assurance in the field of environmental simulation. This is also where BITZER comes into play: Vötsch uses BITZER products for air conditioning applications in test rooms with temperature ranges from -10 °C to +95 °C and in temperature ranges from -80 °C to +180 °C. "In an ever faster changing world, it is necessary to have stable partners; partners who can rely on each other. For this reason, BITZER was our choice for an innovation partnership in the area of reciprocating compressors. Today we can look back on a very good decision from both the purchasing and the technical side. We have confirmed this with a quality assurance agreement concluded in 2013 and a supply agreement concluded in 2015," explains Reiner Sauter, Global Director Procurement at Weiss Technik.
Andreas Riesch, Director Sales Germany and Switzerland at BITZER, confirms: "Vötsch is a very loyal and reliable companion for us. We greatly appreciate the trusting cooperation and can be sure that we will continue to accompany each other in the distant future."
