"Performance must be worthwhile" is the motto for which Styrian Chamber of Commerce Vice President Herbert Ritter and regional office chairman Michael Kohl are fighting - and with full force. "We must do everything in our power to raise the groundwater level of motivation and personal responsibility in our country," stressed Ritter, who visited several companies in the Graz area and also stopped at the GIPRO factory in Peggau.
Julian Englich welcomed the delegation, which was completed by Mayor Viertler from the municipality of Deutschfeistritz, to the insulator factory. After a few words of welcome from WK Vice President Ritter, the delegation was led through the insulator production. From the cast resin preparation, the tour continued to the production halls, where the various casting systems were explained. The new Fox production line, which is used to manufacture insulating plugs for medium-voltage cable connectors with a high degree of automation, was very well received. The insulators are later used primarily in wind turbines and thus make a contribution to the green transformation. The interested listeners also found the vacuum casting system for particularly large or complex cast resin insulators exciting.
Finally, the numerous testing systems with which GIPRO can ensure the high quality of the insulators were demonstrated. Among other things, the electrical test hall was inspected from the inside, where tests can be carried out with electrical voltages of up to 200 kV. The two X-ray systems, which can make even small irregularities within the products visible and thus enable 100% quality control, were also interesting.
