"At our new location, which is tailor-made for our needs, we now have the capacities we need for our growing business", emphasised Schletter's managing director Florian Roos. From now on, about 400 Schletter employees will manufacture solar mounting systems for the world market on approximately 18,000 square metres. " Beyond that, we can grow even further there in the future".

The Schletter Group has had its own production site in Shanghai since 2010. "Due to the high capacity utilisation we have reached natural limits there in the last few years", says Roos. At the new location, not only the production area has been increased considerably, but also the automation technology and production logistics have been improved. "This will enable us to process orders faster and more efficiently in the future.
Praise for smooth relocation in a pandemic
Since the move in March, production at the new location has been running at full speed. In the first quarter, the Schletter Group has already manufactured and shipped mounting systems with a volume of 300 megawatts in China. The majority of these systems have already been produced at the new location. Roos thanked the staff members who organised the move: "To complete the relocation of a complete production line exactly on schedule is already a great achievement under normal conditions", emphasised the Schletter managing director. "The fact that our colleagues even managed to do this despite the Corona pandemic deserves the highest recognition". (mfo)
