| Porsche buys Dürr site in Stuttgart | |
6 July 2007 |
||
Porsche has bought the site of automotive painting and assembly systems group Dürr, which is next door to Porsche's main manufacturing site in Zuffenhausen, Stuttgart. Representatives of Dürr and Porsche signed an agreement to this effect yesterday. The previous owners of the Dürr site were primarily leasing companies. Porsche intends to expand across the Dürr site with administrative departments likely to be housed there. The Dürr site, which measures 68,000 m2, borders directly on Porsche Plant 1. Around 100 of the sports-car manufacturer’s workforce are to have their offices moved to the new site in summer 2007. It is unlikely that Porsche will take over the site completely until
early 2009, however, when the 900 Dürr employees move from Stuttgart
to the company’s new, enlarged Bietigheim-Bissingen base 20 miles
away.
