MOBA invests four million euros in
headquarters in Germany
Limburg, February 2015
With a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony, MOBA Mobile
Automation AG officially began construction of a new factory
hall at the company headquarters in the city of Limburg in
Germany.
The electronics company is investing approximately four million
euros in the construction of the 1,800 square metre hall and
modernisation of the main building. The new building will be used
in the future to equip waste disposal vehicles with MOBA
electronics and to accommodate mechanical production.
Construction of the new factory hall will be completed by the fall of
2015; the affected departments will then begin moving into the
new facilities.
In the future, the existing main building will be used only for
offices and electronics production, which will be completely
modernised and expanded over the next two years.
"With this investment in new construction and modernisation, we
can further improve our production structures and processes. We
will thereby create optimum conditions for being able to produce
in Germany for the long term as well", says Dr. Holger Barthel,
MOBA Executive Officer of Productivity & Logistics. With the
addition of a new building at the headquarters in Limburg, MOBA
is also prepared for future growth. The company has grown
constantly since its founding in Steinbach in 1972. Since
relocating from Elz to Limburg-Offheim in 2004, sales increased
from 26 to more than 54 million euros and the number of staff
members grew from 210 to 482 worldwide, approximately half of
whom are located in the headquarters in Limburg. MOBA has
invested in new buildings in recent years not only in Limburg but
also at MOBA locations in China, India and Spain. New buildings
are also currently under construction at the locations in Italy and
