With our “Global Footprint” strategy, we offer our products and services where they are needed: directly at the customer´s location. 


The global economic environment is challenging and demanding. Thanks to our global footprint, we at Kurtz Ersa see this as an opportunity. In this issue, we once again present exciting highlights from our business units around the world. We invite you to immerse yourself in the world of our innovations and customer solutions and to see where our expertise can be found with the projects shown.

Another important milestone in our “Global Footprint” strategy was the opening of our new production facility in Ciudad Juárez. This will enable us to further expand our capacities in Mexico and optimize supply chains. The expansion has also strengthened our expertise in Mexico, so that we can now guarantee even more competent support for Kurtz Ersa customers in the region, thanks in part to the expanded Mexican team.

 

The sales markets in Asia are just as important for Kurtz Ersa. In order to further expand our customer service and support there, we have established our own branch in Singapore, which will be in close proximity to our customers in Southeast Asia from January 1, 2025. We are also offering more and more products from our factory in Zhuhai. We continue to consistently implement our globalization strategy – always with the focus on being able to offer the optimal production, sales and service network through geographical proximity.

For the past few issues, we have been giving the floor to managers from our operational business units – this time Andrea Carta, Managing Director of Kurtz GmbH & Co. KG since July 1, 2024. As a member of the Global Board, the native Italian is also responsible for the global activities of the business unit Moulding Machines: “In difficult times, it is crucial to think ahead and be well prepared when the economy picks up. Even if plastic remains a controversial topic, the market for engineering plastics such as EPP continues to offer growth potential. With this in mind, we will be presenting two new products at K 2025 – automatic tool changing and gravimetric dosing. Despite the challenges, we are optimistic that the future holds new opportunities for casting machines in the automotive sector.”

There is also a lot of news about our sustainability campaign “GoGreen250”. Here we will keep you up to date on the initiatives that have brought us a step closer to our goal of being CO2-neutral by 2029. In this context, we are extremely proud of our first silver ESG rating, after receiving bronze twice. All in all, this puts Kurtz Ersa in the top 4% of companies nationwide that voluntarily contribute to sustainable development above and beyond the legal requirements!


I was very pleased about an event in September: our anniversary celebration. Over 1,500 years of concentrated experience and expertise were on stage. This strong cohesion, which is lived at Kurtz Ersa, makes me proud and confident at the same time that we will master the coming challenges together. Not only in and around Wertheim, but as a global Kurtz Ersa team all over the world, always as close as possible to you, our customers on site! Personally, I am very grateful for the trust placed in me by the shareholders and the Advisory Board to lead Kurtz Ersa through the economic storm as CEO. However, neither here nor on the following pages is it about me, but rather about you, our customers. And about my management team and every single employee, of whom I am so proud.

Glück auf! Good luck
