Construction work has officially begun – and within just a few, short months, the glass facade of SSI Schaefer’s new competence center at i_Park Klingholz near Giebelstadt in Bavaria will be visible from near and far.

At the same time, teams of dedicated experts continue to conduct research into pioneering systems based on Robotics, AGVs and Industry 4.0 technologies, while addressing the specific challenges of individual market sectors.

The enhanced infrastructure, with a new office complex and a corresponding increase in headcount, is a key step in this journey.«
