Rehm to Improve Blaubeuren Business Centre
June 28, 2018 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rehm Thermal Systems continues to invest in personnel and systems in its headquarters in Blaubeuren, thanks to continually good business performance and positive future prospects. In the last five years alone, the number of permanent employees has increased from 206 to 302.
"With all these new positions, space is becoming scarce. This expansion is absolutely necessary for us to be able to continue delivering our machines and systems to our customers on time," according to the Johannes Rehm, managing director.
Rehm's new administrative and development center will be a four-story extension. The new building will provide 1,520 sqm of office space and a development center. There has also been recent investment in Rehm BlechTec. In addition to growing the team there, the range of machinery has also been extended with acquisitions including a powder-coating system.
"Applicants from the surrounding area of Blaubeurer can find secure and attractive employment and training opportunities in an exciting and dynamic sector," says Joachim Erhard, HR manager. "The company is currently training 12 young people and we are socially involved in collaborative projects with local schools, kindergartens and sports clubs."
The likelihood that the indispensable circuit boards in mobile phones, cars or washing machines have been soldered, coated or dried by Rehm is very high indeed. The company is a leader in technology in the area of economical production of electronic components and benefits from the increasing demand from sectors such as consumer electronics, the automobile industry, medical engineering, or air and space travel.

Nolan’s Notes: Coming to Terms With AI
05/07/2024 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesHow fast do things move in the world of data analytics? Here’s an example. We’ve been planning this issue on artificial intelligence for the past few months, and, in fact, I had already written this column about a month ago. Then I went to IPC APEX EXPO and upended it all. I originally had compared AI to drag racing in that (CPU) horsepower and new (data) vehicles have steadily delivered higher performance competition. That seemed pretty accurate given how generative AI models dominated the popular media with amazing results—and sometimes spectacular crashes.
