    Inauguration of Jungheinrich AG plant in Landsberg

    advertisment Jungheinrich AG, has inaugurated its new plant for pallet trucks in Landsberg, Halle, Saxony-Anhalt. The internationally operative company has invested around 3 million euros. By the end of the year, 70 jobs will have been created. Production at the new location will be developed gradually. From mid-2010, all of the company's pallet trucks should be manufactured in Saxony-Anhalt and supplied to customers worldwide. The capacity of the new plant is 30,000 vehicles per year.

    "The strong support of Saxony-Anhalt and the town of Landsberg, along with the excellent infrastructure, contributed to the decision to invest here," comments Hans-Georg-Frey, Chairman of the Board of Managers of Jungheinrich AG on the decision. Saxony-Anhalt has first-class transport connections, particularly to the Eastern European market - not for nothing do people also refer to the Leipzig-Halle airport as a gateway to Eastern Europe.

    Jungheinrich is one of the leading international companies in the areas of industrial trucks, storage and material-handling engineering. As a manufacturing logistics service provider, the company offers its customers a comprehensive range of forklift trucks, storage systems, services and advice for the entire internal logistics function.

"Why do I read Site Selection?" 


As a dedicated community and economic researcher, it's in my blood to want to compare our metro and state to everywhere else. The well-designed Site Selection rankings frequently validate Greater Des Moines' economic development efforts, at the same time offering that all-important outside opinion of our area's caliber for business and life. But, honestly, who could resist opening a magazine with Bob Gravlee's whimsical Governor's Cup portraits on the cover? They put a smile on my face every bit as big as a good ranking!
