Continental’s Sensors & Actuators (S&A) Business Unit, which is part of the Powertrain Division, has opened a competence centre in Ostrava, Czech Republic, which is responsible for worldwide research and development.
S&A development was previously located in Frenstat, 40km south of Ostrava. Continental has a production site there where products from all three of the Automotive divisions are produced and which employs 2,500 people.

“The expansion of production in Frenstat, especially in the area of sensors and actuators, made it necessary to relocate our development department,” said head of Sensors & Actuators Business Unit, Klaus Hau.
“We chose Ostrava as the site for our new competence centre for a number of reasons, including its proximity to Frenstat and its easily accessible location.
“The deciding factor, however, is the potential for growth Ostrava offers us as a major city with a renowned technical university.”
The new competence centre is located in a laboratory and office complex with nearly 5,000 square meters of floor space.
