The Factory in the Green

Yes. The Factory in the Green is not just a new complex; it is part of a larger redevelopment of all KAESER sites.

In the years ahead, we are going to modernize, expand, and reorganize the existing buildings to meet future manufacturing demands and create tomorrow’s working environment.

Our goal is to strengthen the corporate family as a whole – sustainably, for our workforce and for generations of employees to come.

‍

The Factory in the Green is indicative of our clear commitment to Coburg, but we also aim to strengthen our global network of KAESER plants. We are going to continue modernizing and expanding our sites in Germany and abroad with regional needs and strategic priorities in mind.

Coburg will always remain the heart of KAESER. This development project is going to increase our capacity and enhance the synergy between our global manufacturing and service networks. The idea is to build an efficient, future-proof framework for the overall company.

There may be temporary changes on site during certain construction phases, for example, detours and more construction-related traffic. We may even have to temporarily relocate processes.

However, these measures will be planned so as to minimize disruptions, and we will let you know about them well in advance. We do not expect any permanent disruptions of daily operations. The goal of this site development effort is to improve overall working conditions with modern infrastructure, clear pathways, and more attractive surroundings.

The Factory in the Green stands for the long-term development and viability of the Coburg site — and by extension, for secure, future-proof jobs.

The plans for this site are driven by a progressive outlook on work. We are going to create an environment that combines modern manufacturing standards with easy access, clear structures, and a high quality of life. We also have the interplay between work, health, mobility, and amenities in mind as we strive to create a work environment to meet today’s and tomorrow’s demands.

Yes. We are committed to keeping the entire workforce informed about key developments regarding the Factory in the Green.

Updates will be transparent and timely, delivered through various channels, to include articles on the intranet, notice boards, and informational events. Our aim is to keep everyone in the loop and address questions early on.

The Factory in the Green strengthens our manufacturing and R&D capabilities at the Coburg site in multiple ways – technologically, logistically, and strategically. The new facilities will create room for more production lines and automated processes, as well as foster new forms of collaboration across interfaces.

Deeper vertical integration and shorter development cycles will enable us to respond even faster to customers’ demands from prototyping to mass production. Digitalized key processes are going to streamline coordination, improve traceability, and shorten response times.

This location will continue to serve international customers as a reliable, central point of contact. Many years’ experience, a history of delivering on time and to requirements, and a commitment to premium made-in-Germany quality – this is what the Coburg plant is all about.

The Factory in the Green is more than merely an expansion — it is a stride forward toward a more efficient and connected manufactured site. This will create new benefits and opportunities for our current suppliers, including more accurate demand forecasts, stable processes, and even better collaboration in logistics and operations.

The prospective facilities will also open windows of opportunity to improve joint processes by way of digital connections, coordinated timing, and integrated quality assurance. As the site develops, we could team up to offer new or expanded services.

KAESER remains committed to successful partnerships of long standing. Our investment in Coburg stands for continuity, openness, and the determination to proactively enhance our collaboration.

No. The Factory in the Green is designed to ensure that manufacturing and logistics will continue without disruption. Construction and expansion phases at the Coburg site are being painstakingly planned with a view to operational demands. Time frames, material flows, and capacities will be properly managed.

Our plans put a premium on maintaining legacy supply lines – and strengthening these structures to make them more robust and agile for the future. This includes timely communication, smooth transition phases, and a construction schedule that is well coordinated with day-to-day operations.

The Factory in the Green stands for our ability to deliver on time and to requirements to meet both current and future demands.

Coburg is the birthplace and heart of KAESER — and has been since 1919. Over more than a century, this location has provided a steadfast foundation for our growth. Its central position in Germany and Europe, excellent transportion links, skilled local workers, and decades of collaboration with city hall and the surrounding region have all contributed.

The decision to invest in Coburg by way of the Factory in the Green is part of our clear, future-focused strategy. This plant will enable us to take advantage of existing infrastructure, established processes, and technical expertise while creating the space to meet new demands in manufacturing, logistics, and collaboration.

What’s more, the north Coburg site next to the current factory provides the perfect setting for a cutting-edge development project. Easy to reach, it is well-integrated into the landscape and already zoned for commercial use. With the Factory in the Green, KAESER is making a strong commitment to Germany as a key hub of industry and pursuing sustainable, responsible growth that benefits the region and our global business.

Customers and suppliers also benefit from our accessibility and reliable structure. We remain a strong, future-minded partner firmly rooted in a location with a rich heritage.
