Connection to the parent company

Hakan Okutgen, the CEO of the subsidiary, said together with Michael Märte, Managing Director of Antennentechnik ABB Bad Blankenburg GmbH: "We are very satisfied with the start of production. The connection to the parent company was smooth and very professional. The direct integration of the SAP-supported process flows was helpful here". The technical connection to the ERP system of Antennentechnik ABB Bad Blankenburg GmbH is, in addition to the qualification and instruction of the personnel, an important prerequisite for quality production, because the new production site accesses the database of the parent company and thus ensures flexibility and quality in production.
