MTU Maintenance, one of the world’s leading provider of MRO services for commercial aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines, has laid the foundation stone for a new logistics center at its Ludwigsfelde location on July 20.
The total investment for the new building with a workspace of 6,500 m² is €11.5 million. The additional floor space is needed to cater to the location’s continued growth. Between 2016 and 2018, the number of operating hours has risen 30% and is expected to increase further in the two-digit percentage range in the years to come, the reasons being higher work-loads and the addition of new engine models to the company’s portfolio.
Plans are to have the logistics center up and running in June 2019.
“The construction of the new logistics center marks another important milestone in the devel-opment of our company,” said André Sinanian, Managing Director & Senior Vice President of MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg. “The new building is a symbol of the success our loca-tion has seen so far. At the same time, this construction project affirms our commitment to continue to cater to the needs of our customers worldwide in an optimum and flexible manner – true to our company vision ‘Excellence made in Brandenburg’.”
