"With the capacity expansion for e-bike components, we are increasing our competitiveness in this segment. This is because the trend towards lightweight, compact drives is continuing, thus promoting the use of magnesium," emphasizes Hartmut Fischer, Managing Director of STIHL Magnesium Die Casting.

STIHL Magnesium Die Casting produces housing parts for e-bike drives in lightweight design and supplies, among others, the German market leader for e-bike drives. As an increased order volume is expected in the next few years, STIHL is gearing up to double its production volume by 2023 with the expansion. This year, half of the investment sum will already be invested. Through the expansion, STIHL Magnesium Die Casting will create up to 70 new jobs in the region in the medium term.
