Plant Extension for Six Million Euros

Halver, 26 April 2018 – The ESCHA Group is extending its production- and logistics hub commissioned in January 2017 by 4,700 square meters of production- and office area. The site activities for the second building phase started on 26 April 2018. The industrial connectivity specialist is making an investment of about six million euros for the two-level production building with a four-level office wing. On a scheduled basis, the second building phase should be completed within a period of fifteen months. Eventually, ESCHA will dispose of more than 22,500 square meters of office- and production area at its headquarters in Germany The family-controlled company currently has about 750 employees in Germany. Almost 900 people work for ESCHA worldwide.

“The uninterrupted high demand for our products prompted us to start planning for the second building phase directly after commissioning our production- and logistics hub. Originally, this extension was not planned until later. However, the constant company growth – particularly in 2016 and 2017 – required more production capacities“, says builder and ESCHA Managing Director Dipl.-Ing. Dietrich Turck and adds: “The good start into 2018 and new record figures in the first quarter additionally confirm our decision.“

As already in the first building phase, sustainability, environmental protection, and energy efficiency will be emphasized during the extension activities. The second building phase will also surpass the high requirements of the current energy conservation regulations including an especially efficient ventilation- and heating concept contributing to utilizing the machine waste heat for heating and cooling the building. Planning and realization are again the responsibility of the local CL Architektur office.
