In 1970, a modern manufacturing hall with office building was built and the whole plant was relocated from Schmiechen to Allmendingen. Fundamental modernization, the purchase and manufacturing of state-of-the-art machinery and the further expansion of the plant in Allmendingen increased Burgmaier’s importance in the automotive industry. Together with Hugo Burgmaier (born in 1953), his brother in law, Bruno Schick founded a hardening plant in the vacant hall in Schmiechen in 1977.
