In order to be able to support ongoing expansion of sales to international markets and cope with the increasing demands on agricultural technology, Pöttinger has made massive investments in its manufacturing plants over the past few years. The seed drill plant in Bernburg (DE) and the machinery plant in Vodnany (CZ) have both been expanded and brought up to the very latest standards. The WorkingWORLD project saw forward-looking administration offices being built at the company's headquarters, setting a new course for the future.

"The successful Pöttinger PlantWORLD series of expansions sees us enter a new era with additional manufacturing space at our headquarters and complete reorganisation of the whole production process", say Managing Directors Heinz and Klaus Pöttinger, adding: "With these investments we can support future growth to remain competitive and successful on the international markets."

During this phase, two additional manufacturing bays with a total of 12,000 sqm will be built. This translates into an additional production area of 40 percent for the manufacturing of the entire grassland product range. Thanks to the newly created space, it will be possible to greatly improve the flow of materials and install ergonomic workstations for employees to build machinery using the most modern technology.

On course, even into a strong headwind

Agriculture currently faces the most difficult conditions. Pöttinger is however convinced that "Everyone needs agriculture" and as a result agricultural technology has huge potential. The Managing Directors Heinz and Klaus Pöttinger have their sights set firmly on the future and continued growth: "Following the slogan - roots in Austria, at home throughout the world - we are clearly committed as a traditional company to strengthening our base in Austria. We thrive on agricultural technology and invest in the success of tomorrow."
