Purchase in 2018

With the acquisition of the Horstring 16 site, we are laying the foundation for the largest investment in the history of the Brandenburger Group.

From idea to plan 🏗️

Intensive planning work has resulted in various usage scenarios.

Challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic, rising construction costs, and fire safety regulations are inevitable in this project - but with perseverance and team spirit, we will find the right way forward.

Acquisition of the PV-system 🔌

“Securing energy for the future.”

By purchasing the existing photovoltaic system, we are laying the foundation for the conversion. This not only makes Plant 5 structurally possible, but also represents a clear commitment to sustainable energy at the site.

Installation of fire protection walls 🏗️

The halls are being converted and new structures and layouts are being created.

One highlight: the installation of huge fire protection walls using a 250-ton crane.

Step by step, Plant 5 is taking shape.
