Opening of the new plant in Estonia

HANZA Hold­ing AB (publ) offi­cial­ly opens its new pro­duc­tion facil­i­ty in Tar­tu, Esto­nia. The new plant strength­ens the com­pa­ny’s posi­tion as a provider of region­al and com­plete man­u­fac­tur­ing and cre­ates addi­tion­al capac­i­ty for fur­ther growth.

In Decem­ber 2020, the com­pa­ny announced that it would build a new pro­duc­tion facil­i­ty dur­ing 2021, which is sched­uled to open in the first quar­ter of 2022. The fac­to­ry is now com­plet­ed and rep­re­sents an impor­tant part of the expan­sion strategy.

The CEO of, Francesco Franzé, pre­sides over the open­ing cer­e­mo­ny togeth­er with the Swedish Ambas­sador to Esto­nia, H.E. Mrs. Ingrid Ters­man, and the May­or of Tar­tu Coun­ty, Jarno Laur.

“This is an impor­tant mile­stone in the com­pa­ny’s devel­op­ment. A new, mod­ern plant in Esto­nia, tai­lor-made for com­plex assem­bly work, cre­ates a strong foun­da­tion for fur­ther rapid growth.”

“We see more and more com­pa­nies suf­fer­ing from sup­ply chain dis­rup­tions,” says Erik Sten­fors, CEO. “We offer an alter­na­tive through full and local man­u­fac­tur­ing that not only cre­ates a more reli­able sup­ply chain, but also greater flex­i­bil­i­ty and low­er costs.”

“By hav­ing both part pro­duc­tion and final assem­bly in the same area, we reduce our envi­ron­men­tal foot­print,” says Emöke Sogen­bits, Pres­i­dent Clus­ter Baltics. “To cre­ate an opti­mal man­u­fac­tur­ing flow, we built the new plant right next to our exist­ing sheet met­al fab­ri­ca­tion facility.”

The invest­ment in the new plant, which cov­ers an area of 12,000 m², amounts to approx­i­mate­ly SEK 80 mil­lion. The open­ing will be cel­e­brat­ed today with col­leagues, cus­tomers, sup­pli­ers and local author­i­ties and partners.
