On March 1st, Technotrans is putting new production facilities into operation on Michaelisstrasse in the Brockhagen district of Steinhagen, Northern Germany. The facility consists of a hall section for production and one for logistics over a total of 3,000 square metres and will create around sixty jobs in the future. Under modern production conditions with optimised material flow, the plant will primarily manufacture thermal management systems for applications in electromobility.

“The new production facility will enable us to create the conditions for processing the high order backlog more efficiently and be even better prepared for major orders in future,” says Michael Finger, spokesman of the Technotrans management board. The group has now posted a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 for two years in succession. There has been an increase in the order backlog from €49M at the beginning of 2021 to more than €100M. This positive development is a result of the Future Ready 2025 strategy which, in its current second phase, aims to accelerate growth. The expansion of production capacities is part of further expansion – also beyond 2025.

In Steinhagen, the technology group is renting a commercial property with a total area of 3,000 square meters, comprised of two hall sections of 1,500 square meters each for production and logistics respectively. Around twenty-five employees will be working at the new site when it starts on the planned date of March 1, 2023. In the long term, it is envisaged that the number of employees will increase to around sixty. “The site in Steinhagen is an ideal addition in terms of size and location. This is because physical proximity to the headquarters in Sassenberg is crucial for the transfer of know-how and efficient processes,” says CTO/COO Peter Hirsch.

The Technotrans group develops and produces thermal management systems for use in electromobility applications, server cooling systems, medical applications, plastics processing, the printing industry and other sectors including laser materials processing. The particularly energy-efficient equipment not only ensures precise temperatures for numerous industrial processes, but also helps companies reduce their CO₂ footprint. “With our thermal management solutions, we serve the mega trends of decarbonization, electrification and digitalization. We see enormous potential for growth here,” stresses Finger.
