Innovation process on 24,100 m²

The WIKA Group’s new devel­op­ment cen­ter at its main site in Klin­gen­berg am Main has been com­plet­ed. The com­pa­ny has thus tak­en a deci­sive step for future growth.

With an area of 24,100 m², it unites all depart­ments involved in the inno­va­tion process. It is struc­tured in such a way that new prod­ucts and solu­tions for the mea­sur­ands pres­sure, tem­per­a­ture, lev­el, flow and force can be brought to mar­ket matu­ri­ty in a short time. The increase in per­son­nel in the devel­op­ment depart­ment by around 50 posi­tions in 2022 under­lines the growth targets.

The build­ing com­plex with its strik­ing tim­ber-framed archi­tec­ture rep­re­sents the largest sin­gle invest­ment in the com­pa­ny’s 75-year his­to­ry. It has a vol­ume of 50 mil­lion euros. WIKA also invests con­tin­u­ous­ly in the expan­sion of its pro­duc­tion sites world­wide. The group of com­pa­nies has a total of 43 branch­es with more than 10,000 employees.
