German automaker Audi has acquired a 40-hectare lot in the Munchsmunster industrial park in Germany where the company will build another plant to expand its production further.
The acquisition follows the automaker's plans to support the unprecedented growth in production in recent years at its traditional manufacturing base at Ingolstadt.
The German automaker said that it will initially develop around 27 hectares of the acquired overall Munchsmunster land.
Audi production board member Frank Dreves said Munchsmunster industrial park is just the right place for this. Its close proximity to the Ingolstadt plant and the available infrastructure speak in its favor.
"The strategic investment in Münchsmünster is part of our growth strategy. It allows us to free up capacity at existing plants and to use sites in the surrounding area for future technologies," Dreves said.
The acquired site will be dedicated for manufacturing parts modules and body panels and the development is to start this year with the operation scheduled for 2013.
The new facility will also feature a press shop with transfer presses and production lines for form-hardened body parts, facilities for machining chassis components and an aluminum die-casting foundry.
