Q&A: Jens Baumgarten

Interview with Deputy Head of Technological Development, Sitech

You talked about opening the research centers, have you got any addition to that or does Sitech have any plans for additional expansion in the region?Yes we do. We are currently setting up a second Polish plant right next to the border with Germany which is essentially complimentary to the current facility in Polkawice. We are going to open up this engineering centre in Warsaw, we do this in cooperation with a technical university there so our aim is to generate really top-notch information and knowledge in order to benefit our operations in Poland. We may produce metal structures for seats to put these operations on a new level. In terms of our main focus there, we are going to be joining technologies and material technologies and lightweight construction for sure.
