Vetter has completed the structural work for its new German facility Ravensburg Vetter West. The structural work on its center for visual inspection and high-bay warehouse for cold-storage and room-temperature products is complete. Interior work and the construction of a power supply system will be finished by late 2011, when operations will begin. The facility will employ more than 230 staff.

The new center for visual inspection and logistics will offer optimized quality control processes and material supply, capable of product delivery around the world. The center will offer advanced-design stability chambers with expanded capacity for long-term stability testing under a range of temperatures. Geothermal energy will be used to regulate temperatures in the high-bay warehouse.

“Our new facility in Erlen reinforces Vetter’s position in international markets,” says Thomas Otto, Vetter Managing Director. “It combines efficiency and sustainability, and its advanced processes support a high level of product and delivery security. Our investment both in the facility and in renewable energy testifies to our commitment to the region. In Erlen, we are laying important groundwork for Vetter’s continuing growth and success on the world market.”
