Advanced course continued

The Zimmer Group is pleased to announce the opening of its new manufacturing facility at its headquarters in Rheinau. The modern new building, inaugurated in early July, expands the capacities of the Zimmer Group by an additional 5,000 square meters and provides the newly founded subsidiary Zimmer Systems GmbH with ideal conditions for further growth.

"With the new building in Rheinau, we are meeting the increasing global demands," say the shareholders Günther Zimmer and Martin Zimmer, owners and managing directors of the Zimmer Group. The strategically favorable location in close proximity to the company's other technology divisions—including handling technology, damping technology, robotics, vacuum technology, clamping and braking technology, as well as machine technology and industrial communication—enables optimal logistical connections and efficient production processes.

The new plant now offers sufficient space to develop and realize complex automation solutions. "The spun-off Zimmer Systems GmbH aims to significantly grow in five technology areas, including system components, gripping and transport systems, as well as mobile robotics, cells, and modules up to complete machines and plants," says Thomas Seeger, Managing Director of Zimmer Systems GmbH.

The expansion of production capacities at the Rheinau site is an important milestone in the Zimmer Group's continuous growth strategy. The company, founded over 40 years ago and now employing over 1,300 people at 17 locations worldwide, has been pursuing a consistent expansion course for years. "The rapidly increasing global demand across nearly all product areas requires a comprehensive and global expansion strategy for the coming years to quickly unlock the enormous potentials in Europe, Asia, and America," explains Achim Gauss, Managing Director of Technology and Sales.

Following the expansions in China and India a few weeks ago, this is already the third new building of the Zimmer Group to be put into operation this year. With the opening of the new plant in Rheinau, the Zimmer Group not only creates new production capacities but also new jobs in the region. This underscores the company's global commitment to grow not only internationally but also locally and to strengthen the regional economy. The new production capabilities give the Zimmer Group the freedom to further expand its innovative strength and to offer its customers technologically leading solutions across industries.
