The new plant for curtainsiders, reefer semi-trailers and dry freight semi-trailers covers a total area of around 104,000m2. About 20,000m2 will be used for production and logistics, office space and for the delivery of new and used vehicles. In the new assembly facility, Schmitz Cargobull produces curtainsiders S.CS, reefer semi-trailers and dry freight semi-trailers S.KO with a capacity of 60 units/day (20 units per shift) on just one production line.
Schmitz Cargobull invested around €16.6 million in the new production facility. A hi-tech photovoltaic system supplies the energy for the new production site.
"More than 20 years ago, we laid the foundation stone for our success story here in Spain with our own production facility. Now we are setting another milestone with our new assembly production line. We are planning further steps, such as the assembly of tipper trailers, a project we started only a few months ago," says Andreas Schmitz, CEO of Schmitz Cargobull.
Schmitz Cargobull stands for reliability and innovation and guarantees consistently high quality standards worldwide, from vehicle configuration to delivery to the customer. The units manufactured in the new plant will be distributed in Spain, France, Portugal and North Africa, and in smaller numbers also in Italy, Belgium, Germany, Ukraine and Bulgaria.
When planning and building the new production facility, Schmitz Cargobull did not just focus on the production aspects. The European market leader in the semi-trailer sector placed special emphasis on environmental aspects, so that despite the increase in capacity and metres built, a 33% reduction in energy consumption was achieved. In addition, the photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the plant generates more than 33% of the total electricity consumption.
"With our commitment to the reduction of CO2 emissions, we are a benchmark in the industry. Schmitz Cargobull's position in the Spanish market has been consolidated for years, but the new installations will undoubtedly mark a turning point in terms of efficiency, safety and profitability, which will be passed on to customers. We have also recently expanded the customer service facility in Zaragoza by around 12,000m2," - says Miguel Iglesias, Commercial Director of Schmitz Cargobull Ibérica.
The Schmitz Cargobull workforce in Spain totals almost 330 employees. After reporting turnover of €160 million and annual production of 3,878 units last year, Schmitz Cargobull expects production in Spain to increase to 5,000 units in the 2023/24 financial year.
