Flagship company in Schleswig-Holstein celebrates its opening ceremony
(PresseBox) - SLM Solutions Group AG celebrated the official opening of its new company headquarters in Lübeck-Genin today. Chairman of the Supervisory Board Hans-Joachim Ihde cut the ribbon for the future-oriented location in Schleswig-Holstein together with the Executive Board and Lübeck's Mayor Jan Lindenau at the festive opening ceremony to open the site officially for further development of metal-based additive manufacturing.
The new headquarters of SLM Solutions Group AG is a modern competence center, which provides optimal general conditions for future innovations, higher production capacities and further growth.
The Minister of Economic Affairs of Schleswig-Holstein, Dr. Bernd Buchholz, opened the ceremony with his speech and was impressed: ?SLM Solutions is a flagship company in Schleswig-Holstein. A rapidly growing company supported by technology promotion has been created, which still feels at home in Lübeck and consciously selected this location."
"As mayor of the city of Lübeck, I am very pleased to have a company such as SLM Solutions at the site of Genin, which is producing the future with high-tech machines as well as with honest manual labor," Jan Lindenau, Mayor of Lübeck, stated.
Two and a half years ago, SLM Solutions Group AG made the decision to build the new headquarters at a different location in Lübeck. In record time, a modern competence center was constructed on an area 70,000 m² with 10,000 m² of office space, a hall area of 15,000 m² and plenty of space for the currently more than 360 employees.
The Chairman of the Supervisory Board and founder of the company Hans-Joachim Ihde is very pleased with the success of his company: ?We have achieved something very remarkable in a short time, and are shaping our future today with our employees from more than 40 countries."
The optimal infrastructure, a direct connection to the highway and, ultimately also enough space for further expansion of the fast-growing company tipped the scales in favor of the site.

This is creating numerous new jobs in the process. The company has hired more than 200 new employees in recent years.
