Flender begins Voerde logistics centre expansion

17 December 2021

Germany: Flender has launched the construction of a new 8000m2 storehouse at its Voerde, North Rhine-Westphalia, logistics centre. Along with the lease of an additional building from project developer Panattoni, the project will expand Flender’s total storage footprint by 19,000m2. The supplier says that the new facilities will reduce the Voerde centre’s CO2 by optimising its transport routes.

Flender CEO Andreas Evertz said "I am very happy that the expansion of our site in Voerde will allow us to centralise our logistics activities, bringing us another step closer to our goal of operating in a completely carbon neutral fashion by 2030. With the new warehouse space, we are making our logistics processes sustainable and thus reducing a significant part of the previous transport routes and the associated CO2 emissions.”

Flender and Schaeffler launch packing system for large size bearings

24 March 2021

Germany: Flender and Schaeffler have launched the Schaeffler Modular Adaptable Returnable Transport (SMART) Box, a packaging system for bearings. Flender says that the reusable box reduces waste by replacing disposable packaging.

Chief executive officer Andreas Evertz said, “Over the past few years, Flender has systematically minimised its own CO2 emissions and was able to reduce them by 83% between 2015 and 2020. We want to be completely CO2-neutral by 2030. In addition, close cooperation with customers and suppliers is another important step towards achieving complete climate neutrality. It is therefore important for us to also focus on potential savings in the supply chain. We are pleased to have a partner in Schaeffler who is also thinking in this direction. With the introduction of SMART Box for one type of gearbox, we are already reducing the use of wood as one-way packaging material by more than 100t/yr.”

Flender leaves Siemens and launches new supplier portal

19 March 2021

Germany: Flender says it has resumed trading as an ‘independent’ company following the completion of its sale by Siemens to Carlyle Group for Euro2.04bn. The mechanical and electrical drive system supplier said that its existing contract remained unchanged, adding, “With our skilled employees, excellent range of products, and a growth-oriented new owner, we are in an ideal position to act even more effectively.”

The ownership change coincides with the launch of Flender’s new Jaegger Direct supplier portal. The portal succeeds SCM Star, the tool used by Simens, in handling requests for quotation, tender management and company profile data. The company asked customers to register with Jaggaer Direct to confirm the transfer of their data from SCM Star. It said that it will dispatch email invitations and login links in the coming days.

Flender increases torque of N-Arpex coupling range

08 May 2019

Germany: Flender has increased the torque of its N-Arpex coupling product range with two new designs featuring eight and ten bolting points. N-Arpex now covers a diameter up to 988mm and a torque up to 2MNm. The compact design and enhanced bore capacities also enable a leap in size. A smaller coupling transmits a higher torque compared to the predecessor model. The steel disc coupling is suitable for use in drive applications including pumps, fans, compressors, generators, turbines, and paper and printing machines.

Other improvements include a more compact Flender conical bolt connection for the plate packs. With the two new N-Arpex couplings, Flender has introduced a modular system that increases the number of available types as well as reducing the number of components required. The three standard series of the predecessor Arpex merge into one N-Arpex series. The new series of couplings has also been designed for use in potentially explosive environments as defined in directive 2014/34/EU and fulfil the requirements of API610/ISO13709 and API671/ISO10441.
