Engine maker plans factory

Written by 

German engine maker Deutz says it plans to spend Euro 26 million ($NS43m) on building a 13,500m2 production hall at its Cologne-Porz headquarters.

Destined for the production of crankshafts and camshafts, the plant will comprise a Euro 15m building with the latest energy saving technologies, and manufacturing technology costing Euro 11m.

The existing production site at Cologne-Deutz will be vacated in stages, and 130 pieces of manufacturing hardware will be relocated at the new site between March and December 2016.

Chairman Dr Hemut Leube commented, “Our decision to build a new facility represents an investment in our future business because we are safeguarding our ability to innovate and compete. The centre will become an integrated site for large scale production runs, and ultimately create around 140 jobs.”
