en.Wedoany.com Reported - Volkmann USA, a process equipment manufacturer headquartered in Bristol, Pennsylvania, has announced the expansion of its global manufacturing headquarters in Soest, Germany, adding 48,437 square feet of factory space to boost production capacity and accelerate equipment delivery.

The expanded facility will support higher output and shorter lead times for Volkmann's pneumatic vacuum conveying systems, bulk bag unloaders, vibratory feeders, and related bulk material handling equipment. The company stated that since the new plant became operational, delivery lead times for custom conveyor orders shipped to the United States, Canada, and Mexico have already been reduced.

Volkmann has also launched a new Quick Ship program, enabling delivery of new VS series vacuum conveyors in as little as two weeks.

The expansion consolidates design engineering, manufacturing, assembly, quality control, shipping, and related operations within the same facility. Volkmann noted that this integrated layout aims to streamline production processes, improve efficiency, and support consistent on-time delivery.

The upgraded plant also features a new on-site test laboratory, equipped with a fully functional pneumatic vacuum conveying system for large-scale 3D printing automation, bulk bag unloaders, feeders, and metal powder handling equipment. Customers can use this laboratory to evaluate equipment performance and validate material handling processes.

Volkmann USA noted that its headquarters in Bristol, Pennsylvania, still maintains a similar test laboratory, where North American customers can conduct product and material testing on full-scale conveying systems.
