HENSOLDT joins the ‘Made for Germany’ initiative
Sensor specialist HENSOLDT has joined the ‘Made for Germany’ initiative. With ‘Made for Germany’, leading companies have created a strong alliance to strengthen Germany as a business location in the long term. The aim is to improve the framework conditions for growth, security and innovation through investment and constructive dialogue with politicians. The initiative consists of over 100 companies, including start-ups as well as medium-sized and large companies.
In recent years, HENSOLDT has made targeted investments in the digitalisation and networking of its products, the securing of supply chains, and infrastructure and locations. These include a new logistics centre in the Swabian Alb and a new high-tech campus in Oberkochen. Capacities will be further expanded and one billion euro invested by 2027.
“As a high-tech company in the defence industry, we are investing heavily in our locations, in cutting-edge sensor and reconnaissance technologies, and in the digital transformation of our products. In doing so, we are not only contributing to the defence capabilities of Germany and Europe, but also to the competitiveness and future viability of our country. We are therefore proud to be part of this initiative,” says HENSOLDT CEO Oliver Dörre.
