FERAG opens engineering office in Graz
Focus on the needs of future employees
Ferag Engineering’s headquarters are located directly in the old town of Graz. "We took a very close look when selecting the location," Klöckl-Greimel continues. "In addition to the basic requirements, such as a good infrastructure and central location, the cost-effectiveness of the building and a prestigious location, we paid particular attention to the needs of our future employees." These include very good public transport connections as well as good shopping facilities and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. "The availability of sufficiently qualified employees was also a key factor in choosing the location in Graz," says Klöckl-Greimel.
"Graz is a geographically advantageous location in the heart of Europe and therefore close to many potential customers," says the Ferag manager. In addition, the excellent transport links to the highway, railroad lines and the airport as well as the density of industry and commerce play an important role.
The presence of leading scientific institutes, colleges and universities was also a decisive aspect. These include, for example, Graz University of Technology and the University of Applied Sciences with their expertise in intralogistics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and software development.
With the new location, Ferag will be even more intensive and proactive on the market. "Our aim is to have the right understanding of the customer," continues Christian Klöckl-Greiml, "and to develop innovative and future-oriented solutions together." This will enable Ferag to further expand its market position in the Central Europe region and serve its customers professionally and holistically. He concludes: "In order to meet the high expectations, we are currently looking for qualified specialists, especially in the area of software development. We look forward to interesting discussions and welcome new members to the Ferag family".
Ferag specializes in the development of total intralogistics solutions in the areas of production, e-commerce and omnichannel for a wide range of industries as well as for postal and 3PL automation. The Swiss family-owned company, which has been on the market for over 65 years, is also one of the world market leaders in the development, design and distribution of material flow systems for a wide range of industrial applications. Innovative conveying and sorting solutions for intralogistics are also a consistent and sustainable further development of Ferag processing systems developed for print media production. Software and automation solutions are developed in-house and implemented by Ferag’s own teams. Headquartered in Hinwil/Zurich, the Group is represented in more than 20 countries by its own sales and service companies and employs around 650 people worldwide.
