“The further investments and development of our plant ensures the long-term competitiveness of our location. Additionally, it is a mark of trust by our company in the performance capacity of our workforce in Thuringia,” says the plant manager, Michael Eckl. “We are proud that this will make us the largest tool shop location in the BMW Group production network.”
Today, the Eisenach plant manufactures up to 40 tool kits for the pressing plants of the BMW Group annually: with the expansion, the capacity will rise up to 50%. In addition, the plant is increasing its training and integrated degree program positions from 9 to 24. Besides Munich and Dingolfing, Eisenach is today the third location for the worldwide provision of automobile plants with highly state-of-the-art pressing tools. In addition to the tool shop, the Eisenach plant has in recent years specialized in the production of nearly all the outer shell parts for Rolls Royce cars as well as for BMW M models and components for the BMW motorcycle division.
