Chassis Brakes International is opening a new 5,000-square-meter sales and application engineering centre in Heilbronn, Germany.

The facility includes 4,000 square metres for product-development activities and 1,000 square metres of office space on three levels. The new Heilbronn technical centre is more than twice the size of the company’s previous facility in nearby Abstatt.

“Our move from Abstatt has been driven by significant growth of our group in Germany and lays the groundwork for further expansion in the future,” said Chassis Brakes Global CEO, Thomas Wuensche.

For his part, Bernd Schemer, chairman for the company’s German operations and global VP of Sales, Engineering and Project Management, added: “We have created a facility in Heilbronn, 80% of which is dedicated to engineering activities, including extended capacities and capabilities for vehicle testing and NVH [noise, vibration and harshness], both on a bench and vehicle level.

“In addition, we are prepared to address future trends in electric and autonomous vehicle technology.”

Chassis Brakes International is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of automotive foundation brake systems and components.
