Eco-power and petrol in the blood
Commitment to Leipzig as a manufacturing location
When the decision was taken in March 2011 to produce a new compact SUV, Porsche also announced the expansion of the Leipzig factory to create a full-blown assembly plant. Some EUR 500 million was invested in adding a new body shop and paint shop, plus trebling production space to some 250,000 square metres. This level of investment clearly demonstrates the importance of the Leipzig plant for Porsche. The Chairman of the Porsche Executive Board, Matthias Müller, believes the company’s commitment to Leipzig also underlines its belief in Germany as a production location. “‘Made in Germany’ is a key criterion for Porsche and for our customers all over the world,” he says.
