Groundbreaking ceremony for new 15-million building: häwa GmbH is investing heavily in the future

With the start of digging work, and with it construction, häwa is taking an important step into the future. Managing Director Arno Müller: “We are investing around 15 million euros in a new administration building including a canteen, a new final assembly line and a brand-new paint shop. In doing so, we are outfitting our company for the challenges of the coming years and making a clear commitment to the site."

Together with Mayor Stephan Mantz, architect Dirk Hübner and Karl and Georg Schließer from the construction company Gebrüder Schließer GmbH und Co. KG, Arno Müller got to work and broke ground on the major project that will accompany the leading manufacturer of control cabinets and enclosure solutions into a new era. Thus, the new coating system focuses, in particular, on energy efficiency and speed. Arno Müller: “Especially with the massive rise in energy prices, this is of great importance – not to mention the major issue of climate protection. A value that we absolutely live up to. A photovoltaic system, charging stations for electromobility, as well as efficient building management play an essential role in this.” A significantly larger administration building will provide future capacity for further growth and more space for employees. The construction will be completed in various phases so that there will be no interruptions in either administration or production. Mayor Stephan Mantz and häwa Managing Director Arno Müller are particularly pleased about the company's commitment to its headquarters in Wain (district of Biberach), which goes hand in hand with the new building.
