In 1993 Boysen built the world's first local assembly plant for just-in-sequence (JIS) production and delivery of complete exhaust systems at Salching in Lower Bavaria. Since then, we have been continuously optimising this process, enabling us to constantly meet the increasing customer requirements in terms of lead time and number of variations.
It is based on a production network with sophisticated logistics and an innovative material flow. An integral component of the conveyor technology and thus at the heart of our JIS plants are Boysen's characteristic high bay warehouses. They demonstrate that Boysen is a system partner that gets to the point faster - and gets products onto the conveyor faster.
