WIEGEL Lauchhammer welcomes Mayor

Lauchhammer – On February 13, 2026, the Mayor of Lauchhammer, Mirko Buhr, visited our hot-dip galvanizing plant to learn more about our operations and gained first-hand insight directly from the production floor.

Together with Regional Managing Director North, Sven Biebler, and Plant Manager Martin Hitschke, we guided him through the facility and demonstrated how approximately 60 tonnes of steel are refined every day in Lauchhammer using the batch galvanizing process. The focus was on our quality standards, efficient processes, and the work of our 32-member team at the site.

WIEGEL has been based in Lauchhammer for more than 30 years and is firmly rooted in the local industrial and commercial area. To support further development, additional commercial land has already been secured to enable future expansion of the site.

The planned “Railport” project was also discussed. The potential reactivation and expansion of the existing rail connection to the industrial and commercial area could open up new logistical opportunities in the future.
