The above-average success of the CAMLOG® Implant System in recent years is also a constant challenge to its manufacturer, ALTATEC GmbH in Wimsheim, Germany. By 2007, the just 3-year-old building was no longer equal to the increasing demands, making it necessary to plan an extension. With the recently commissioned buildings in Wimsheim, production area has now doubled to 15,000 sqm, and the potential for further developments has been created.
Not only does ALTATEC GmbH benefit from the increased production facilities, but for CAMLOG Vertriebs GmbH, also located in Wimsheim, the new extension additionally offers the opportunity for organizational improvements. This gave rise, for example, to a spacious CAMLOG auditorium for user training and a separate area for logistical support of external CAMLOG training and continuing education events several hundred of which are held annually in Germany alone.
In Wimsheim, however, not only new functional buildings were the result, but rather an architectural translation of the known CAMLOG qualities. Transparency, for example, is one of those qualities to which CAMLOG/ALTATEC attaches great importance. This sense of clarity and perspective is clearly conveyed by the building's interior characterized by the numerous sight lines and outlooks in the spirit of Le Corbusier, who said, "The view needs to roam."
All construction materials used are recyclable or can at least be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. The entire premises including the 216 new parking places for staff and the extensive green roof areas is drained by an elaborate retention basin system, and the water is returned to the ground in a natural way.
CAMLOG/ALTATEC look forward to showing the more than 100 international visitor groups annually in Wimsheim both brand-new high-tech production as well as architectural esthetics 'made in Germany'.
