A second cold-rolling plant, a development center for chassis production, a new warehouse and a facility for the further processing of tailor rolled blanks are top of the list of the numerous extensions to be undertaken at Mubea Fahrwerksfedern GmbH in Weißensee in the near future. The 20,000 m2 of hall space and 4,000 m2 of office space will provide plenty of room for all this modernization and expansion. A further bonus: 120 new jobs will be created. Mubea’s section that produces high-performance chassis parts has recently put its first warm forming line for bodywork structural parts into operation, so it can now supply pre-finished components in addition to tailor rolled blanks. A German manufacturer of premium automobiles has already ordered the launch of series production of these components in 2017.
Mubea Group recorded growth of more than 10 percent in 2014 alone, with a staff of around 10,000. This growth was accompanied by various investments, both in Germany and overseas, to make the group more competitive, including two new factories in China and significant extensions to premises in Germany.
