Investment in the millions

An impressive new construction project with state-of-the-art production facilities, highly developed production logistics and an innovative administrative unit is currently underway at Paul Vahle. With this project, the provider of energy and data transmission solutions is planning to significantly increase its production capacity from 2027 in order to meet growing demand. The investment is estimated at 60 million euros.

Sustainability through PV system and heat pump

A completely new factory with modern storage areas, including automated small parts warehouses, pallet warehouses and honeycomb warehouses, will be built on a usable area of around 15,300 square meters. To ensure sustainable operation, the construction plan includes extensive green roofs and a photovoltaic system with storage in combination with a heat pump. The four-storey administration building is being built on an area of around 3,000 square meters. In addition, an event pavilion with an area of 460 square meters is planned, which will offer a bistro for employees as well as conference and communication areas. The pavilion will also act as the central anchor of the campus and strengthen the link between administration and production.

Commitment to the location and the region

According to Vahle, the highest standards are being set to ensure that the company remains not only the largest, but also one of the most attractive employers in the region and offers optimal working conditions for projects. "With the use of state-of-the-art technologies and comprehensive sustainability initiatives, we are sending a clear signal as a leading employer that radiates beyond the region," explains Achim Dries, CEO of the globally active Vahle Group. He adds: "This new construction project is one of the largest investments by a family-owned company in the eastern Ruhr area and reaffirms our long-term commitment to the region. Our focus is not only on a sustainable infrastructure, but also on a pleasant working atmosphere that promotes creativity and innovation. This includes ergonomic work and office spaces that create ideal conditions for our employees."
