Jungheinrich plant

Jungheinrich has announced plans to open a new factory in Moosburg, Bavaria with construction to start later this year.

The new plant, near the company's existing production facility, will be dedicated to manufacturing warehouse trucks and systems equipment.
The plant is expected to be complete and operational by the end of 2009.

The company is opening its facility in Landsberg, Saxony mid 2009 where battery-powered pallet trucks and stackers for the European market will be produced. (Forklift Action news #340)

The construction of the two new plants represents a EUR70 million (USD103 million) investment by Jungheinrich.

Craig Johnson, marketing manager of Jungheinrich (UK) Ltd, says the company expects the market to continue growing in the years to come.

"We are adapting our production to address this situation in good time."

In 2007, Jungheinrich completed upgrades of its factories at Norderstedt and Moosburg (Forklift Action news #331).
