Sany expands in Germany

Crane and construction equipment manufacturer Sany Heavy Industry is investing €60 million in a new location in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The new facility will be built in the Bedburg/Bergheim Mühlenerft' commercial zone between the cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf and Aachen and will comprise a production/assembly facility, a research and development centre and a training facility.

Sany moved into its new European headquarters in Cologne in May of this year alongside Sany Germany.

Xingliang Feng, managing director of Sany Germany said: "The key factors influencing our decision in favor of the 'Mühlenerft' commercial zone were its proximity to Cologne, the excellent connections to the seaports, the sufficient supply of qualified staff, the professional and personal commitment in the town administrations of Bedburg and Bergheim, and the outstanding service of the state agency NRW.INVEST. Negotiations with all those involved have shown that we are very welcome in this region. We continue to welcome applications from engineers for our research and development programme."
