The company and its partners are investing a total of 48 million euros in the new facility. By July 2020, the site measuring around 75,000 m² will be home to a production hall spanning 16,000 m², where 45 employees will manufacture precast elements for up to 2,000 residential units annually. EMC Managing Director Frank Preiss sees the future of construction in these kinds of precast construction elements. “After digitalization of planning processes for new buildings, the next logical step in the fields of architecture and planning would be to transfer the existing data into a quick and flexible production process for individual construction elements.” EMC’s first pilot client is the CG Gruppe AG, Germany’s leading property development company in the field of residential construction. Thanks to the proximity to the Institute for Applied Construction Research Weimar (IAB) and the field of “Digital Construction” at the Thuringian Center of Excellence in Business 4.0, we can make optimal use of the opportunities for synergy in the digitalization of the Thuringian construction industry.
