In the 28,000-square-meter plant 750 employees produce high-quality magnesium components for chainsaws and power tools, as well as for the automotive, motorcycle, bicycle, electronics and medical technology industries. Roughly 20 % of its revenue comes from die casting projects for external customers.

The ground-breaking ceremony on 5 April 2019 marked the laying of the foundation stone and the start of construction with a sum of 18 million euros. Dr. Nikolas Stihl, Chairman of the Advisory Board and the Supervisory Board of STIHL, said: "In view of the technological leadership of our magnesium die cast products, the growth prospects of this location are very promising. The new plant will enable us to significantly increase our logistics capacities, which is necessary to cope with the rising sales of chainsaws and power tools as well as orders from external customers". Hartmut Fischer, Managing Director of STIHL Magnesium Die Casting, adds: "The plant is constantly growing and is reaching its physical limits.
