“LEG has provided Mathys with extensive assistance in finding and assessing locations and advised it on government incentives,” explained LEG Managing Director Andreas Krey. “We are thrilled with the expansion in Stadtroda. The investment shows that Thuringia is an attractive site for growing companies.” LEG presented many of the advantages of the Eastern Thuringian location in its discussions. “The industrial district offers easy access to the junction of the A4 and A9 highways, putting Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt and Dresden within close reach,” noted Dr. Arnulf Wulff, LEG Department Head. “Mathys also benefits from the extensive capabilities in ceramic production and precision machining seen throughout the Jena, Hermsdorf and Gera region.” Mathys AG Bettlach, the Swiss parent company, employs around 540 employees worldwide and generated around 125 million Swiss francs in revenue in 2020, according to its own information. Mathys AG has been part of EnovisTM, a listed US company, since mid-2021. The Thuringian operation focuses on producing shoulder, hip and knee prosthetics. The new 4.5 hectare site in Stadtroda will be home to a new 5,000 m² metal shop, a 2,900 m² ceramic production facility and a modern office building. (hw)
