Dear customers and business associates, The central topic of the current age is undoubtedly digitalisation. This involves changes to what is required of our products, such as aspects relating to equipment operation. For example, we are currently expanding the range of operator options for mobile end devices in line with the “mobile first” principle. Take a look at pages 10/11 for more on the strategic focus of our products in an interview with Thomas Kern, who will be assuming overall responsibility for our new product management focus in 2017. The reordering of product management is happening at the same time as a couple of our long-standing employees go into retirement.

Fire protection for Hankook tyre plant in Hungary

he South Korean tyre manufacturer Hankook supplies premium tyres to a range of companies – including VW and TMercedes – from its new plant in the south of Budapest. A fire alarm system with fire detectors was installed by Schrack Seconet in their production halls, multi-storey warehouse and staff hotel. L Hankook has built a large tyre plant near to Budapest. The ASD 535 special fire detector ensure reliable fire detection in the tall, dusty production halls. In 1941, Hankook was Korea’s first manufacturer of tyres. Today, this South-Korean pioneer is the world's seventh largest tyre producer application. Two Schrack Seconet employees are on location year-round and in 2006 constructed a new tyre plant in Dunaújváros, 60 kilometres for maintenance tasks and will be supported by the SecoLOG alarm south of Budapest.
