Physik Instrumente expands electronics manufacturing in Rosenheim
Physik Instrumente (PI) has significantly expanded its electronics manufacturing site based in Rosenheim, Germany.
The floorspace available was extended by 600 m² to the present 2,100 m². In addition to optimized logistics, additional workspaces, and new production equipment, a special emphasis was placed on improving ergonomics. The successful expansion was celebrated in the presence of Rosenheim’s Lord Mayor Andreas März.
All in all, PI invested 2.2 million euros in the expansion of the electronics manufacturing site in Rosenheim. Of this figure, the amount of around one million euros was allocated directly to production and to expanding the floorspace from 600 m² to the present 2,100 m². The company invested more than one million euros in improving the site’s infrastructure. In this respect, the main focus was placed on employee needs. Height-adjustable workbenches with integrated lighting in the production area, optimized air-conditioning and ventilation in addition to separating off areas with high noise levels and high temperatures from other production areas are a few examples of this.
“With the expansion of the site, which has now been completed, we have created the basis for considerable efficiency gains, which are a decisive factor for the growth we intend to achieve as well as for our successful positioning in the international marketplace,” explains Dr. Axel Widenhorn, Senior Vice President Operations at PI.
Speaking at the celebrations on completion of the expansion work, Andreas März, Lord Mayor of Rosenheim, emphasized: “We see the importance of providing a good environment for hi-tech companies such as PI. Your investment in this site provides confirmation that we are on the right path in this respect. On behalf of the city of Rosenheim, I congratulate you on successful completion of the expansion work, and I wish PI ongoing success on its growth trajectory.”
In 2025, PI’s Rosenheim site will undergo the next stage in its expansion. Further investment funds totaling around 1.7 million euros have been earmarked for this.
