"With a direct connection to the A23 federal highway, Tornesch is integrated into the Hamburg metropolitan region, and the state capital Kiel as well as the North and Baltic Seas can be reached in less than an hour. The area has undergone constant development in recent years. The modern environment with its diverse sectors offers ideal conditions for our business," says Nicolas Neuwirth, Chairman of the Management Board of thyssenkrupp Plastics GmbH, explaining the company’s decision in favor of the new location. The logistics center consists of a single-story hall measuring around 7,800 square meters with a height of 10 meters, housing warehousing, production and sales. A total of 35 employees work at the new Tornesch site.

The move to Tornesch, north of Hamburg, finally completes the disposal of the previous Hamburg site in Waidmannstrasse, which was already sold in 2017. "We have moved into a modern and efficient building that is technically and environmentally up to date and precisely tailored to our needs," says Christian Wisley- Schulz, branch manager of thyssenkrupp Plastics.
