The new production facilities offer new capacity for the company’s mechanical engineering projects and the production of Halle/Saale-based Hegla boraident’s systems. “The construction of yet another production hall represents a crucial milestone in the ongoing development of our facility in Kretzschau. Our employees in particular can be proud of the positive developments we are seeing on site,” explains Bernhard Hötger, Managing Director of Hegla Maschinenbau.

Since the independent Hegla subsidiary was founded at its former site in Droßdorf back in 1990, Hegla Maschinenbau – now based in Kretzschau – has developed into a competence centre for PVCU storage and become an autonomous and crucial member of the Hegla Group as a Rapidstore production facility for glass storage and loading. “In the past, our subsidiary in Kretzschau was primarily renowned for its manual steel construction products, whereas today it is home to increasingly technically complex machinery and systems, which means we are now exporting our unique products to virtually every country around the world,” explains Managing Director Bernhard Hötger.
Strengthening the economy in the Zeitz region
As the site continued to grow in significance, it was expanded from around 3300 m² to 4500 m² back in 2008. “The national – and international – recognition we now enjoy can primarily be attributed to the exceptional commitment of our employees at the site. We are now on the lookout for new skilled workers to continue with our successful growth and plan to welcome 30 new employees to our team when we open the new facility.”
Hegla
Hegla Maschinenbau is one of the largest industrial companies in the Burgenlandkreis region of Saxony-Anhalt. The completion of the new building and the ceremonial inauguration is set for the first quarter of 2020.
