DEHN grows: new building at the Mühlhausen site
At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, DEHN made the decision to make the largest single investment in the 114-year history of the family-owned company. The investment of over 50 million euros in our plant in Mühlhausen is a strong commitment to Bavaria as a business location in general and to the Neumarkt region in particular.
More capacity for the megatrends of our time
We already have a presence in Mühlhausen where we opened a 23,500-m² logistics centre with an integrated production area in 2014. However, global demand for DEHN products is so high that the current production capacities have reached their limits. In order to continue the company's success story, more production space was urgently needed.
Surge protective devices and products for external lightning protection are manufactured in the new state-of-the-art production facility. Relocating parts of the production to Mühlhausen will free up much-needed space for the sales and development departments and administration at the company headquarters in Neumarkt.
Facts and figures
- The new building is one of the few KfW40-standard industrial buildings in Bavaria (district heating, building heating and cooling by means of concrete core activation, 3,400-m² green roof, PV systems on site with approx. 1,250 kWp)
- 600 DEHN employees manufacture products at state-of-the-art, ergonomic and height-adjustable (production) workstations
- We work together with people with disabilities providing around ten "inclusive workplace" jobs
- 20 automated guided vehicles (AGVs) supply the workstations with materials
- Up to 1,500 storage and retrieval operations per hour take place in the automated small-parts warehouse
