Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH opened a new branch in Cologne. The new unit will showcase the company’s pharmaceutical, biotechnology and active ingredient plant expertise and represents Glatt’s first location in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The decision to expand was based on a positive market outlook in the field of pharmaceutical engineering and excellent capacity utilization, the company said.
Although the site is still in the development phase, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik said that it has already been able to recruit a number of experienced project engineers. In the future, the new branch will be expanded and the company’s entire product portfolio will be covered.
In addition to its headquarters in Weimar and the new facility in Cologne, the company maintains additional offices and branches in Wiesbaden, Dresden, Moscow and New Delhi, the company noted.
Volker Saalfeld, Head of Design & Project Management at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, says: “With the new branch, we are positioning ourselves in exactly the right place. Many of our customers are based in North Rhine-Westphalia. The proximity gives us more direct access to them and will allow us to develop stronger relationships, both of which are clear competitive advantages.”
The branch manager at Glatt’s new location in Von-der-Wettern-Strasse in Cologne-Porz is Mile Duvnjak.
