DITZINGEN, Germany, June 3, 2011 — Volkswagen AG has ordered a significant quantity of TruLaser Cell 8030 series laser cutting machines from Trumpf Laser und Systemtechnik GmbH, Trumpf announced recently.
The first batch of the machines will be divided among Volkswagen’s headquarters in Wolfsburg and its sites in Kassel and Spain. The batch forms only part of a bulk order that will see Trumpf deliver more than 50 machines to Volkswagen over the next two years.
