The groundbreaking for the new center in the German town of Memmingen was held this week with the building set for completion by mid-2024.
Rohde & Schwarz currently employs around 1,800 at its location in Memmingen, with the company insisting that the new investment will help bring more jobs to the region.
"Our very strong growth is driving demand for dozens of new employees, especially in development and production," said Michael Dill, plant manager in Memmingen.
According to the company, employees working in Memmingen and Teisnach manufacture most of the product range in-house, with the high degree of vertical integration helping ensure supply security “in times of stressed supply chains.”
"The construction of the new building in Memmingen underscores our strategy of in-house development and production in Germany," says Christian Leicher, president and CEO of Rohde & Schwarz.
“Our high degree of vertical integration and close proximity of development to production have always proven to be factors in our success. This approach allows us to offer our customers not only cutting-edge technology, but also a high level of security and reliability.”
