Plantag acquired the 14,000 sqm property with over 2,200 sqm of office and ancillary space from a neighboring company, as well as 5,750 sqm of production and warehouse space. A good 1,600 sqm of the building space is currently sublet to other companies. The company has plans for the remaining space, some of which have already been implemented. Administrative departments from two locations will be merged on an office area of 1,400 sqm. In addition, the establishment of a central quality assurance department is planned for approximately 100 square meters.
In the new production halls, a production plant for radiation-curing (UV, water-UV, ESH) products will be built on 1,500 sqm. This corresponds to a tripling of the output possible today - with an increasing degree of automation. In the future, the Plantag Group will thus concentrate on its main products, water-based coatings and radiation-curing coating materials. The new building will be connected to the district heating network of Stadtwerke Detmold. The district heating will be generated from renewable raw materials and will result in production becoming CO2-neutral in terms of heat.
