Processing

In 1996/97 the new production plant was built and put into operation. In order to keep the quality from the deposit during the processing, the plant was designed to keep the amount of possible abrasives at a minimum. We pay attention to a high, constant quality and to a high redundancy for a safe supply in our process.
