Niehoff Is Expanding its German Manufacturing Facilities
Maschinenfabrik Niehoff, Schwabach, Germany, is expanding its production capacities in Germany to meet the growing order volume. Two ground-breaking ceremonies at the company’s headquarters in Schwabach and its branch plant at Leuterschach, Germany, marked the start of the construction work. The factory in Schwabach will be expanded by two halls, a manufacturing hall and a logistics hall, which are scheduled to go into operation in August 2025. At Leuterschach, Niehoff has acquired 3500 m² of additional factory premises and will build another hall and outdoor facilities expanding the existing production area by 1700 m² for storage, assembly, and testing. All new facility halls will equipped with photovoltaic systems on the roofs and will use geothermal energy for heating and cooling technology. All of the infrastructure projects represent an investment of €15.5 million. The family business owners of Niehoff make these investments possible because they put most of the company´s profits into the company. Since the beginning of 2021, 100% of the electricity in the Schwabach and the Leuterschach factories has been generated from hydropower and is therefore CO2-free.
Having more than 70 years of experience in making machinery for the production of non-ferrous wires and their processing into automotive, power, data, and special cables, Niehoff is an industry leader. The company attaches great importance to the long-term durability of its products and stands for the manufacture of machines featuring reliability, process stability, high productivity, energy and materials efficiency, and reduced CO2 emissions. Consequently, Niehoff is also certified by the German Environmental Auditors Board EMAS, belongs to the Blue Competence sustainability initiative of the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), and with a view to its corporate social responsibility (CSR) cooperates with the international platform for sustainability ratings EcoVadis.
Niehoff has a workforce of around 1300 employees worldwide. In addition to Germany, it has operations in Spain, Brazil, the USA, the Czech Republic, India, China, and Sweden along with sales and service centers in Japan, Singapore, and Mexico.
