No. All rigging, transport, and re-installation in Nuremberg is carried out by Klose's own certified millwrights and crane operators — a single accountable team from disconnection through to commissioning.

Can you relocate machinery from Nuremberg to another country?

Yes. Klose manages cross-border relocations end-to-end: dismantling, ISPM-15 export packaging, customs handling, multi-modal freight, and re-installation at the destination — all under one contract.

What does a turnkey relocation include?

Planning and engineering, mechanical and electrical disconnection, rigging and heavy lifting, transport, precision re-installation, alignment, and commissioning support — optionally followed by a preventive maintenance plan.

Turnkey vs. modular relocation: which to choose in Nuremberg

	Turnkey (single partner)	Modular (multiple vendors)
Accountability	One contract and one project manager end-to-end	Split across packers, hauliers, and riggers
Downtime	Minimised — every phase planned as one schedule	Gaps between vendors extend production downtime
Coordination	Klose coordinates every phase for you	You coordinate and chase multiple suppliers
Quality standard	One German-quality standard throughout	Varies from subcontractor to subcontractor
Risk at handover	Single point of responsibility for any damage	Disputed responsibility if equipment is damaged

We move a customer's production line the way we'd want our own moved — one team, one plan, and no handovers where things get dropped.
