The geographic center of Germany lies in western Thuringia, which – together with the outstanding infrastructure – was and remains a powerful argument for many companies’ site selection decisions. Weidmüller’s chosen location is only ten kilometers from Weidmüller’s Thuringian production facility and boasts excellent access to the A4 highway and the Frankfurt and Leipzig cargo airports. Weidmüller operates other factories in Germany, Romania and the Czech Republic and intends for all the products made at these sites to be handled at the new central warehouse. The company decided to make the investment in order to keep up with fastmoving markets and optimize its supply chains. (hw)
