System E4-1 Energy Chain, for long service life, high stability, ease of installation and modularity.
igusis continuing its growth trend. Despite difficult market conditions in 2012, igus managed to increase turnover by five percent and finished the year on a record high. igus is counting on “organic growth” this year, too. Within the context of a long-term investment program, significant capital will be directed at new product divisions, the expansion of existing product lines as well as global logistics and production.
2012年,易格斯提供的产品超过175 000 customers all over the world and was able to ship more than 4,200 shipments in average per day from its 13 global dispatch centers. The ReadyChain division – pre-harnessed Energy Chains and igus continuous-flex Chainflex cables – grew at an astonishing high rate: around 341,000 pre-harnessed cable systems left world-wide production facilities last year. igus is expecting additional growth from new product groups including semi-finished goods, ball bearings, spindle drives, electric actuators, and on-site assembly programs. Each product is now developed and marketed in separate business divisions with additional staff, space and production facilities. The number of employees increased last year to a total of 2,175, a seven percent increase. For customers, things remain simple. As before, they can contact sales engineers for Energy Chain Systems and for dry-running bearing technology. In addition, there is an expanded team of industry specialists providing support to sales engineers in the fields of machine tools, packaging machines, construction machinery, cranes, the agricultural sector, material handling, medical technology, energy sector, automotive production and robotics.
Research and development as a driver for the future
igushas introduced new product innovations under the motto “motion plastics”. One of the products is a new generation of micro-chains for tiny and light-weight energy supply applications. It is not only 30 percent quieter, more importantly it is 100 percent more stable for larger unsupported travel lengths.
igusproduct innovations like these micro-chains originate in test laboratories which are among the largest in the world within this industry. Two billion test cycles are carried out every year in the field of cables alone. “The Energy Chain System from igus has developed into the most popular
Igus测试实验室，每年进行14,000多个产品测试。
世界上能源供应系统的类型。这强调了系统的普遍性和简单性。” Igus GmbH董事总经理Frank Blase说。持续的发展在普通轴承领域也很重要。在2012年，在Tribo-Polymer开发实验室进行的14,000次测试返回令人信服的结果。仅去年，Igus的2亿个普通轴承就安装在乘用车中。
扩大生产和物流
Igus还在全世界投资于生产和物流。今年，该公司已经搬入了韩国和巴西的新设施。
The aim of all investments is and remains to provide customers with the best product for their individual requirements as quickly as possible. “We make three demands on every igus product: Firstly, it has to bring customers commercial and technical benefits, secondly it has to be able to be calculated and configured online, and finally it must be able to be delivered quickly,” emphasizes Frank Blase. “Tribo-polymers as our core technology, combined with innovative design and electronics and delivered in no time as standard or special solutions – these are the strengths which make for a good future at igus.
