<strong>The</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Move</strong><br />
New address details for<br />
Siemens Mechanical Drives
A major factory relocation<br />
We are delighted to announce that Siemens Mechanical Drives has<br />
moved into a new dedicated assembly and service centre; a purpose<br />
built factory at Navigation Park in Stourton, Leeds which will bring<br />
significant long-term benefits to our customers, employees and<br />
partners.<br />
At Siemens Mechanical<br />
Drives we pride ourselves in<br />
the delivery of high quality,<br />
flexible and cost-effective<br />
technical solutions. <strong>The</strong><br />
investment in a new facility<br />
will enable us to realise a<br />
significant step change in<br />
our operations and thereby<br />
increase the value<br />
proposition we will be able<br />
to offer our customers and<br />
partners. This will be<br />
realised through the<br />
adoption of lean production<br />
cells, improved material<br />
flow, increased production<br />
capacity and material<br />
handling.<br />
As well as investing in our<br />
facility, we continue to<br />
invest in people. We have<br />
taken on more apprentices<br />
to enhance our long-term<br />
bank of skilled employees.<br />
In parallel, employees in all<br />
areas of the business are<br />
engaged in further<br />
developing and improving<br />
systems and processes.<br />
With respect to our<br />
customers in particular, we<br />
will be holding technical<br />
seminars and conferences<br />
at the new facility, covering<br />
the broader Siemens drive<br />
train solutions,<br />
incorporating variable<br />
speed drives, motors,<br />
couplings and gearboxes.<br />
One area of particular<br />
growth at the new site will<br />
be around service.<br />
Although we have a well<br />
established reputation for<br />
our traditional products, the<br />
areas of wind and rail<br />
service are developing fast.<br />
Winergy drive units and<br />
Flender rail gear<br />
units/couplings installed<br />
and operating in the UK<br />
have increased dramatically<br />
in recent years. <strong>The</strong> new<br />
factory layout improves<br />
materials handling, and<br />
additional capacity will<br />
enable us to offer an<br />
improved turnaround of<br />
maintenance, repair and<br />
overhaul for these products<br />
– benefiting our customers<br />
enormously.<br />
Formal Opening<br />
We’re looking forward to<br />
showing you our new<br />
facilities and we’ll be holding<br />
a formal opening of the new<br />
factory in January 2011.<br />
We’ll be in touch again soon<br />
with your personal invitation<br />
to visit us.

New General<br />
Manager<br />
Simon Nadin joined the<br />
Mechanical Drives Division<br />
in June and has been coordinating<br />
the new factory<br />
move as well as getting<br />
familiar with the Flender<br />
brand range. With a<br />
background in production<br />
and process management,<br />
Simon’s clear thinking has<br />
already been of significant<br />
benefit to the relocation.<br />
He joined Siemens in 1988<br />
and was previously Business<br />
Excellence Manager at the<br />
world drives factory in<br />
Congleton. Simon’s<br />
experience means he is<br />
ideally placed to help<br />
develop Siemens offerings<br />
in growing industry areas<br />
such as wind energy, rail<br />
and airports.<br />
