2016
Bocklet invests in a new, big-scale paint shop with the most current technological standards. With this new paint shop, we are able to paint and coat vehicles and cabins in full height and up to 11,50m lengths in-house. Additionally, necessary paintings for the furniture or any other equipment can be done in the paint shop. The relocation of the paint shop enables more working space for the vehicle manufacturing, mainly the modification and upgrading of the chassis.
2014
A second building section extends the production sides. Now, the production of the GFK sandwich panels can also be done right next to the cabin construction area. Before, GFK sandwich panels, had to be built in a production hall near by. Additionally, a new hall is built for the interior design and construction section providing additional mounting areas as well as additional storage capabilities for spare parts and components.
