Topcon To Build New Manufacturing Facility in Germany
Topcon has announced a new manufacturing facility will be built in Geisenheim, Germany, near Frankfurt, for the company’s Topcon Electronics operation.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the 90,000-square-foot facility was held on April 16. Topcon says the new facility will consolidate all operational buildings under one roof, expand its manufacturing footprint, and allow for increased production capacities to triple the number of units produced annually.
Topcon does not own its current Geisenheim facility, which produces in-cab displays for agriculture and construction solutions portfolios as well as for global OEM customers.
“The current operation is one of the company’s highest-rated manufacturing facilities, with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, as well as an IATF automotive certification. The testing lab has become a standard for us worldwide,” said Mathias Kühn, senior vice president of Global Operations for Topcon. “The dedicated manufacturing of operator consoles for heavy machinery is a world-class example of success based on a strong core competency. The new facility is designed to support enhanced manufacturing automation, which is key to accelerating production and growth.”
The new facility is designed with sustainability in mind, including the use of solar panels, greywater drainage systems, installation of electric vehicle charging points, and implementation of nature-based solutions for ventilation and drainage.
Ewout Korpershoek, executive vice president, Topcon Positioning Systems, said, “The environmentally sound architectural design marks our first building investment with sustainability in mind from the ground up. We are thrilled to embark on this journey, further solidifying our presence in Germany and strengthening our commitment to delivering the most advanced, high-quality technology to meet the needs of our customers worldwide. The investment underscores our long-term vision for growth and success, reflecting the Topcon values of innovation, quality, and sustainability.”
