Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen, Ohio, opened a new 129,000-square-foot production facility in Roding, Bavaria (Germany). Featuring a new production hall and office premises, the Roding site is one of the key production facilities in Crown’s global manufacturing network.
While the company will continue to operate the existing plant located nearby, the new facility will enable the lift truck manufacturer to significantly expand its European production capacity. Just last year, Crown opened its new European headquarters in Feldkirchen and a new parts center in Pliening, both located near Munich. The parts center handles the distribution of spare parts across the entire EMEA region. The new Roding plant represents Crown’s third major investment in Germany to support the company’s ongoing growth in Europe.
