Bohle is 80 and still expanding

The 80th birthday event was held at Solingen, Germany – the town where Bohle was founded. The guests included Ulrich Bohle, Chairman; Norbert Bohle, who is on the board; Gary Dean, Managing Director of Bohle UK; and five other senior directors and head of Bohle’s subsidiaries, plus all the company’s department heads. Several long-standing retired staff members were special guests of honour.

Bohle AG’s Chief Executive, Alfons Donat, said, ‘Bohle AG is the largest company of its type in Europe, and has grown through joint ventures and acquisitions in recent years to employ over 300 people. These people are very committed and focused, which has made me very proud to have joined in 2002 to lead the group.’

Ulrich Bohle added, ‘Bohle UK has developed into a significant subsidiary thanks to Gary Dean and his team, and we look forward to its further development. In other areas, during 2003 we have opened subsidiaries in Russia, and in 2004 we have plans for Hungary and other new European accession countries. Our expansion plans will continue, as our product range grows.’

Bohle AG further expanded its presence in Russia in June with the opening of a second warehouse and office facility based in St Petersburg. Russia is the largest country Bohle operates in directly, with approximately 145 million people.

n Bohle AG has extended its machinery production factory in Torgau, in the Saxony region of Germany, in response to growing demand for its range of glass processing machines throughout Europe and beyond.

The extension adds over 20,000 sq ft to the existing production halls. An additional 50,000 sq ft of land adjacent to the site has also been acquired to allow for further development.

Bohle UK offers an extensive machinery range, which includes belt and disc grinders and high precision drills. And to satisy the specialist and art glass sectors, the company has recently launched a new collection of manual and fully automatic sandblasting systems. The range is available from Bohle UK’s dedicated machinery sales and support division in Oldham.
