At the end of March, NETZSCH Pumps & Systems celebrated the official opening of its state-of-the-art NOTOS multi screw pump plant in Pomerode, Santa Catarina, Brazil. This new facility marks a significant milestone in NETZSCH’s 70-year history.
Construction and Completion
Construction of the NOTOS multi screw pump plant began in August 2021 and, despite numerous challenges, was completed in under three years. The new site, located in the Ribeirão Souto district, stands as a testament to NETZSCH’s commitment to innovation and growth.
Strategic Significance of the NOTOS Multi Screw Pump Plant
The new NOTOS plant is a crucial component of NETZSCH’s strategic goals. The facility spans a 5,700-square-meter industrial building and a 1,800-square-meter administration building, complete with ample parking spaces. This plant is designed to manufacture and supply high-quality multi screw pumps for demanding applications worldwide, significantly enhancing NETZSCH’s production capabilities.
Expanded Production Capacity
In addition to producing multi screw pumps, the new plant will increase the production capacity for other product lines at the existing Pomerode site, including progressing cavity pumps, rotary lobe pumps, peristaltic pumps, and grinding systems. This expansion ensures NETZSCH can offer tailored and sophisticated pump solutions for any application.
Benefits to Customers
“With the new NOTOS multi screw pump plant, we will significantly boost our production capacity in Brazil, allowing our customers to benefit from more powerful pumps and shorter delivery times,” said Osvaldo Ferreira, managing director of NETZSCH do Brasil. This development will provide customers with high-performance pumps tailored to their needs, enhancing their operational efficiency.
