Thuringia’s Economics Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee expressed his delight at the expansion: “Marquardt’s new investment in Thuringia is a strong sign of confidence given the current global conditions!” The company has been located south of Thuringia’s capital city of Erfurt since 2019, when it acquired a vacant 30,000 m² building complex and began production there. Thuringia plays a central role in the e-mobility operations of the family-owned company, which is headquartered in Rietheim-Weilheim, Baden-Württemberg. “We have been growing very rapidly in e-mobility for years. Our site in Thuringia plays a pivotal role in this business segment. The region’s extensive industry expertise and close ties to Erfurter Kreuz reinforce our decision to make long-term investments in this site and create even more secure, attractive jobs,” explained Dr. Harald Marquardt, Chief Executive Officer of the Marquardt Group. LEG Department Head Dr. Arnulf Wulff adds that LEG's support as a one-stop agency had also played a significant role here. (hw)
