HENSOLDT is further expanding production capacities at its Ulm site

The sensor solutions provider HENSOLDT is further expanding its production capacities at the Ulm site. A second printed circuit board assembly line has already been put into operation in the electronics production. A third assembly line is to follow in 2025. The total investment volume amounts to eight million euros.

Printed circuit boards are indispensable for HENSOLDT products. In view of the security of supply in the procurement of electronic components and the high demand for products that can be delivered quickly, it is proving to be an advantage for the company to have full control over core technologies such as the assembly of printed circuit boards. In particular, the ongoing conversion to series production in radar production is increasing the demand for components enormously.

“In view of the increasing demand, the urgency of delivering products and solutions quickly and on a large scale is clearly noticeable,” says Gregor Schwab, HENSOLDT Head of Production. “By expanding our production capacities, we have already more than doubled the number of printed circuit boards manufactured from 36,000 to 80,000 per year over the past two years.”
