This means that the earthworks can start on the approximately 45,000 square meter site "Am Innovationsfeld", on which a building complex with approximately 11,000 square meters of ground floor space for the technical units such as production and tool grinding shop and approximately 3,000 square meters of ground floor space for the administrative areas is to be built.
About 300 DATRON employees, who have so far been working at four locations in southern Hesse, will be brought together at the new main location in Ober-Ramstadt. The company sites in Mühltal, Darmstadt, Reinheim and Lindenfels-Winterkasten will be eliminated without replacement after their relocation.
Around 30 participants from politics and business attended the groundbreaking ceremony on March 31 despite extremely varied weather conditions. Among the guests were DATRON company founder Gerhard Schulte, the main shareholder of DATRON AG, Dr. Arne Brüsch, honorary mayor Werner Schuchmann and the acting mayor of Ober-Ramstadt, Tobias Silbereis.
"For our company, today marks the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in DATRON’s 54-year corporate history. We are very pleased that the extensive earthworks for the preparation of our new building on site will now begin in April and that the realization of a long-cherished dream will take concrete shape," commented DATRON AG’s CEO, Michael Daniel, at the groundbreaking ceremony.
