Knapen Trailers says that it will be going live with a multi-million dollar flexible manufacturing project in July (2016) that will see new Knapen trailer production “robotised on a large scale”.
The firm is currently expanding its factory in the Netherlands to include an additional 3,100m² of production space and three production lines, including laser-guided specialist aluminium welding, to deliver Knapen’s lightweight yet robust semi-trailer designs.
Knapen also says that its separate special construction department – which custom builds moving-floor trailers to transport operator specific requirements – will continue.
