Endress+Hauser is expanding its centre of competence for temperature measurement technology in Nesselwang, Germany. The global market for high-end products is constantly growing, making the expansion necessary. “We wish to continue our investment and production in Germany,” underlined managing director Harald Hertweck.

The new building is required due to the introduction of new products, the overall optimisation of production and the continuously growing workforce. “Expansion of our production and office space will help secure long-term growth,” explained Hertweck. Endress+Hauser is going to invest a total of €10 million in the new building with a total floor space of 4800 square metres.
Plans for the new building also involve the optimisation of production processes. Operations were restructured and modernised based on the ‘one-piece flow’ principle, making them significantly more efficient. This makes it possible to increase the efficiency and transparency of production processes. As a result, expensive machinery and equipment can be used far more economically in the future.
Sustainable architecture
The modern industrial architecture of the new building is clearly in evidence: the downward sloping façade has the advantage that it offers protection from the sun while the large glass panes at the front allow sufficient natural light in for those working in production. Power from the photovoltaic system on the roof of the building can be fully used for production processes.
