On 21 September, the Luxembourgish Minster of the Economy, Lex Delles, and the Luxembourgish Minister of Home Affairs, Léon Gloden, were in Grevenmacher to inaugurate Webasto‘s new facilities, which aims to increase the company’s production capacity.
This launch is a new and innovative take on roof systems, as it focuses on advanced technologies like switchable glazing and ambient lighting that can be incorporated into panoramic glass roofs.
These new facilities, which come as an expansion of their already existing factory, add approximately 13,000 square meters of manufacturing space. The add-on aims to maximize efficiency and utilize new energy saving devices.
Webasto’s main incentive is to create these high-tech glass roofs for passenger cars and ensure that they are of the highest quality to align with the high demand of the industry. This plant is well-equipped to provide these sought-after products at a quick production rate. The roof of the Grevenmacher plant also contains a new photovoltaic system, allowing for conversion of sunlight into energy to assist in operating the plant in an eco-friendly manner.
Webasto is one of the leading automotive suppliers worldwide, specializing in the making of roofs, electric high-voltage heaters and batteries. The group, whose headquarters are in Germany, employs over 16,000 people in more than 50 locations. After generating sales of 4.6 billion euros last year and employing over sixty more people with this new investment, Webasto hopes for growth in a multitude of ways.
