HELLA expands Lithuania electronics plant

HELLA has announced that it is further expanding its electronics plant in Lithuania.

The plant in the Kaunas free economic zone started production of various electronic components in August 2018.

At present, sensors and actuators, as well as lighting electronic components, are manufactured at the site with more than 180 employees.

HELLA is making a medium double-digit million euro investment in the long-term expansion of its production capacities.

As part of the expansion, the number of employees is also to be increased to up to 430.

In the first phase, the building area of the plant will initially be increased to a total of 22,000 square metres.

In addition to new production and office space, this also includes a laboratory facility of around 1,000 square metres.

Series production of further electronic components, for example in the field of energy management, is also planned for summer 2021.

HELLA CEO, Dr. Rolf Breidenbach said: “In the last two years, the Lithuanian location has developed into an important pillar in our global production network.

“The further investment will not only underline the importance of the location, but also lay the foundation for further growth in the electronics division.”
