Wiesbaden, 25/06/2019. Bode-Panzer GmbH adds yet another chapter to its story of success by investing in its future. The specialist for VDS-certified safe and vault solutions will soon be opening a new central warehouse at its production site in Rajhrad in the Czech Republic, a move that is aimed at optimising the internal logistics processes. Moreover, the company began operating a new Trumpf bending machine back in April, which speeds up the manufacture of single pieces.

“Our excellent business position is making demands on our logistics operations,” explained managing director Frank Steinhardt. “The new central warehouse will enable us to deal more efficiently with the high volume of orders.”
The new central warehouse has an area of more than 900 square metres; at the moment, all purchased parts are stored here, but it will in addition serve as an intermediate warehouse for finished products.

“Bode-Panzer will benefit from the new facility at many different levels,” stated Steinhardt. “The construction of the new warehouse lays the foundation for optimised warehouse management and concurrently the ongoing reconciliation of the target and actual figures for the consumption of materials.”

Bode-Panzer had previously invested in a new bending machine from Trumpf at the beginning of the year, and the successful operational startup of the equipment was in April. It makes the production of single pieces significantly faster and provides automatic measurement of target and actual dimensions. “The machine that was previously used had simply reached the limits of its capacity — especially in terms of the time and effort required for programming it,” according to Steinhardt. In comparison, the intuitive menu navigation of the new bending machine is a convincing feature that makes programming simple and substantially faster.

These new investments are a continuation of the course Bode-Panzer has laid out for its future development. Bode-Panzer has been just as active in this respect in past years, investing in production technology and production sites so that it could meet special customer needs relating to delivery dates and delivery quantities or other demands.

Wiesbaden, 12/11/2018. Bode-Panzer GmbH sees no reason not to look ahead to its 161^styear with confidence. After all, the demand for high-quality, VDS-certified safes and vaults remains high even in this day and age of digitalisation.

“We are so incredibly proud that we have been able to continue successfully the history of this company over so many years,” said Frank Steinhardt, managing director at Bode-Panzer. More than 250 employees at the production plant in the Czech Republic build more than 100 safes and vaults every day, which are then sold via a worldwide network of dealers and directly to end customers.

“During the many high and low points of our 160 years of company history, we have acquired a tremendous storehouse of experience that we can draw on for our benefit and, above all, for the benefit of our customers. Continuous innovations, an understanding of the many different needs and demands on the markets and far-sighted business acumen and willingness to invest drive us onward.”

In the last two years alone, Bode-Panzer has invested in production technology and production sites that contribute to satisfying the special needs of customers such as delivery dates and delivery quantities.

The certified single and system solutions that the company with a long tradition produces itself can be found in use all around the world today and protect countless items requiring special physical protection — for instance, in the banking and retail sectors, in the OEM field or even for private individuals. Bode-Panzer is not only a leading manufacturer of high-quality safes and vaults; the company is today respected as a provider of complete solutions for security, process optimisation and logistics.

In addition, Bode-Panzer holds a strong position as an attractive employer in the production region Czech Republic. “We could not be so successful without our employees, from welders to bookkeepers. That is why I want to express my most sincere thanks to our entire team,” emphasised Steinhardt.

Wiesbaden, 31.05.2017. With its investment in new production facilities, Bode Panzer has again streamlined its production processes. The new machine of the type TruLaser 3030, for example, has a cutting capacity of 6KW which ensures that the laser times can be significantly reduced. At the same time, the integration of an automatic loading and unloading system allows for more flexible production.

With the increasing process efficiency, Bode Panzer is reacting to the growing demand for custom-made safe solutions even in small batches. “Investments like this enable faster throughput times,” explains Frank Steinhardt, Managing Director of Bode Panzer GmbH. “In this way, we are able to process customer orders even more quickly and also to produce large, simultaneously incoming order volumes at the right time.”

Since 1994 Borde Panzer has been producing safe solutions in Rajhrad (Czech Republic). The Headquater has grown to a production area of ​​12,000 sqm (plot area of ​​32,000 sqm). The company currently employs 230 people.

“The Czech Republic is still very attractive as a production location,” explains Steinhardt. “We continue to benefit from the good infrastructure, highly qualified and motivated employees in production as well as the investment-friendly basic conditions on the ground.”

With the renewed investment in the company location Rajhrad, the traditional house once again underlines its presence in the Czech Republic and at the same time sets the course for the future.

Wiesbaden, 12.04.2017. Server safes from the Bode Panzer GmbH convince even the highest security committees. The high-security solutions developed by the vault specialists are classified according to the safety class CEN I and provide a special protection in addition to the normal cooling in order to prevent the interception of data. The server safes are therefore suitable even for high-security areas, such as military installations or government authorities.

In addition, the cooling can be varied according to the requirements and the computer performance. Monitoring and control can also be performed via remote access.

With the BodurCube Eco, Bode Panzer addresses particularly retailers with lower budgets.
