Prysmian, a world-leading company in cable and wire manufacturing, operates a branch in Wuppertal, Germany. They care about innovative solutions that can improve working conditions.  

What challenges did Prysmian have with bag handling? 

Nedim Aydin, the HSE manager at Prysmian Wuppertal, explained lifting challenges that the facility had. 

The main problem was employees experienced strain when lifting heavy items. The operations needed employees to handle bags that weighed 55 lbs. or more on pallets. This lead to high physical strain as well as back and joint problems.  

What lifting solution improved safety and efficiency? 

Prysmian was able to significantly reduce these problems by adding TAWI vacuum lifting into their process. TAWI solutions enable employees to handle lifting tasks more safely and quickly, which leads to improved productivity. 

The feedback has been consistently positive. Nedim Aydin emphasized that the equipment has improved workplace ergonomics. Also, employees reported a noticeable reduction in lifting effort when they use TAWI’s equipment.
