GERMANY - The Homag Group is planning a new, innovative building at its Schopfloch site. The premises will cover an area of around 8,000 m2 over two floors.

One of the key elements of the new building will be a modern, generous showroom, where customers will experience everything the Homag Group has to offer. The building will also include a meeting center and a new staff restaurant. A sum of around € 15 million has been earmarked for this project.

“We want to present our state-of-the-art machines and systems as well as innovative production concepts here”, highlights Homag CEO Pekka Paasivaara. “Equally important are our software and IoT solutions, which will show our customers their path to digitization. There will also be an innovation center for new technologies. The new premises will enable us to open our doors even more, and create the foundation for positive dialog with existing and new customers as well as other interested target groups. This will make every visit a great experience.” The building work is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2018, with the building due to be completed by early 2020.
