Germany: Menzel Elektromotoren has launched construction work for its new plant in Hennigsdorfon, on the outskirts of Berlin, with the laying of the foundation stone. More than 200 guests and employees attended the event. The new headquarters will be erected on a 24,000m2 plot. All administrative and production workplaces are to be relocated by January 2024.
When complete, the new motor plant with an effective floor space of 8500m2 will increase the manufacturer's production capacities, allow the expansion of the workforce and add efficiency gains through an optimised floor plan. The production area of about 3800m2 will accommodate the assembly, metal processing, fabrication and winding workshops, paint shops and three test fields. In addition, there will be offices, logistics zones and storage areas. The new property is intended to allow for future expansions.
