Description
The foundation of a new pressing plant was announced by Martin Metallverarbeitung following more orders from Volkswagen for its new generations of Golf and Passat. Martin Metallverarbeitung looked at possible locations in Eastern Germany and the new EU-members, but decided to stay in Bavaria, because it was able to buy a factory building from an insolvent company at good conditions.
