4. August 2026

From 10 to 30 August 2026, pro­duc­tion at ETHEN ROHRE will be sus­pend­ed. An important project will be car­ried out dur­ing this peri­od. Our anneal­ing fur­nace, which is around 45 years old, is under­go­ing a com­pre­hen­sive tech­ni­cal refit.
The anneal­ing fur­nace has been a cen­tral component of our pro­duc­tion for decades. To ensure it con­tin­ues to con­tribute reliably to the quality and process reli­a­bil­i­ty of our capillary and precision tubes in the future, the plant is being brought up to the lat­est tech­ni­cal standards in col­lab­o­ra­tion with our part­ner SOLO Swiss SA.

Care­ful prepa­ra­tion for a sched­uled refurbishment

The mod­erni­sa­tion was pre­ced­ed by many months of inten­sive prepa­ra­tion. Tech­ni­cal con­sul­ta­tions, face-to-face dis­cus­sions and several on-site vis­its took place in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the team from SOLO Swiss SA. This close coop­er­a­tion ensures that the refur­bish­ment can be car­ried out as planned in August.
Dur­ing the tem­po­rary clo­sure, only pro­duc­tion will be sus­pend­ed. Our office team will remain avail­able as usu­al through­out this peri­od and will con­tin­ue to be on hand to assist cus­tomers and busi­ness partners.
Dur­ing the tem­po­rary clo­sure, we will also wel­come vis­i­tors to our fac­to­ry. They will gain an insight into the progress of the refur­bish­ment and our pro­duc­tion process­es, and will be able to find out more about the project on site.

Invest­ment in quality and process reliability

Through this refit, we are mak­ing a tar­get­ed invest­ment in the future of our site. The mod­erni­sa­tion brings the anneal­ing fur­nace up to the lat­est state of the art and lays the foun­da­tions for con­tin­u­ing to car­ry out the heat treat­ment process reliably, effi­cient­ly and to the high stan­dard of quality our cus­tomers have come to expect.
Once the work is com­plete, we will resume pro­duc­tion with a tech­ni­cal­ly mod­ernised facil­i­ty. In doing so, we are strength­en­ing the long-term performance of our site and lay­ing the foun­da­tions for the reli­able man­u­fac­ture of our capillary and precision tubes.
