The new building was opened on September 27, 2019 in the presence of Gary Bell, son of the founder and chairman of the supervisory board, Thuringia’s Economy Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee, LEG Managing Director Andreas Krey and LEG Department Head Dr. Arnulf Wulff. At the event, company representatives highlighted the benefits of the industrial site: the central location of West Thuringia in Germany in combination with the direct connection to the A4 highway and the availability of skilled workers. A successful partnership has been in place with the Ministry for Economic Affairs and LEG for many years now. The new building with its 12,000 sqm of floor space will be added to the existing facilities, which span 6,000 sqm, at the site measuring almost 10 hectares. This means that the corporation will be tripling its production and storage space at the Thuringia location. Around half of the additional space will be part of the new steel construction manufacturing facility that Bell will use to produce tipping troughs and vehicle hoods. With this expansion, Bell is securing its position as a global market leader in its production segment – by now, the company is represented in more than 80 countries across all continents. (hw)
