CeramTec is expanding its manufacturing capacities in Markt-redwitz, Upper Franconia, Germany, with plans to add another medical technology production hall to its existing manufacturing facilities in the coming years.
Dr. Hadi Saleh, CEO of the CeramTec Group, commented, “On the one hand, we are experiencing a sustained high demand for advanced ceramics for medical applications. On the other hand, this demonstrates our commitment to Germany as a manufacturing location in general and Marktredwitz in particular. Here, we intend to invest around €75 million over the next four years and create more than 100 additional jobs. ‘Made in Germany’ will continue to be the motto for medical technology from CeramTec. This is a strong signal for the region.”
CeramTec is a leading supplier in the high-performance ceramics industry worldwide and has more than 100 years of experience in development and production. Areas of application include components for hip prostheses and other orthopedic implants, dental implants, or components for medical devices. At the Marktredwitz site, CeramTec operates, among other things, a center of excellence for the production of ceramic components for hip joint replacement.
The first construction phase of the new building covers a total area of around 11,000 m², and there is potential for further expansion on the site. The company plans to complete and fully commission the building by 2026. CeramTec is paying particular attention to sustainability in the building and the systems operated in it. In addition to the installation of a photovoltaic system, this also includes a holistic energy-efficient ventilation and air treatment concept. The use of waste heat and the intelligent consolidation of production facilities will also make CeramTec in Marktredwitz even more energy-efficient in the future.
