Schumacher further added: "Especially during the imminent upgrading phase, we will benefit a great deal from an airfield in the immediate vicinity. In the following years, however, fast accessibility will also be very important for a company like ours which operates all over Europe.”

In addition to the new production facility, the company also owns power plant and sewage treatment plant at the site.
