EBM-Papst opens new facility in Romania

ROMANIA: German fan and motor manufacturer EBM‑Papst has officially opened its new €30m facility in Oradea, Romania. 

The new facility in the Oradea II Industrial Park brings together various functions under one roof. In addition to the 4,100m² production area, the site includes a 5,300m² warehouse and logistics areas and 3,200m² of offices. The investment has also included the establishment of a 1,200m² research and development centre for the design and testing of new generations of fans.

“With this new facility, we are consolidating production, development, and services in Eastern Europe, thereby significantly enhancing our responsiveness to European customers,” said COO Frank Mayer.

The new plant is designed to be a future-proof location that offers both current and future employees optimal conditions for collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth.

Construction of the site was completed within ten months on a plot of approximately 5.5 hectares. During planning and implementation, a special focus was placed on energy efficiency and sustainable land use. These include, among other things, a smart building management system, photovoltaic modules for on-site power generation, and green spaces on the grounds.
