in Lederhose, Thuringia, Germany.
By the end of 2011, just in time
for the company's 20th anniver-
sary, a new annex (left of picture)
will increase the total space avai-
lable for manufacturing, R&D and
engineering, sales and manage-
ment. This will also increase the
current manufacturing capacities
by 150 %.
