Millions invested in new plant

"With the opening of the Sensilo plant, we are not simply implementing a construction project. We are setting an example - for our further development, for securing our location and for our entrepreneurial future. Sensilo stands for what Jumo is all about: the will to move things forward. For the ability to bring generations together. And for the aspiration to not only serve markets with our technology, but to create solutions that really make a difference," said Jumo shareholder Bernhard Juchheim.

Production and logistics area of around 10,000^m2

The plant for the production of temperature and pressure sensors has a production and logistics area of around 10,000^m2. Jumo also sees great potential here in the coming years - there is space for the construction of four to five more halls. At around 48 million euros, the new building is the largest single investment in the company's history. Around 21 million euros will be invested in machinery and equipment by 2027.

"The plant is an investment of millions in the future of the Group and a commitment to the Fulda economic region and, above all, to our customers," emphasized Managing Director Dr. Steffen Hoßfeld. He expressly thanked the city of Fulda and the district of Fulda. "The cooperation with the authorities was consistently solution-oriented, unbureaucratic and based on partnership. This helped us a great deal and was a decisive factor in our ability to realize this project so quickly," said Hoßfeld.

Energy concept of the new plant

The energy concept of the new plant sets standards; the plant is almost completely energy self-sufficient:

• a 700 kW photovoltaic system on the roof (corresponds to the average requirements of around 200 single-family homes);
• 20 geothermal probes with a depth of 100 m each on the 100,000^m2 site (average geothermal energy at a depth of 1000 m approx. 10 °C);
• 1.2 MW/h cooling capacity for air conditioning the building;
• full-surface industrial underfloor heating over 8500^m2;
• efficient heat recovery from production processes.

This versatile energy concept eliminates the need for fossil fuels.
