OHB to Take Over Technisat’s Schöneck Plant, Converting It to Satellite Component Production

The Bremen space firm says the move strengthens German manufacturing to reduce supply-chain dependence.

Overview

  • The takeover is set for the turn of the year, reversing a planned shutdown of the Vogtland site.
  • OHB plans to produce printed circuit boards, cable harnesses and connectors for satellites at the facility.
  • All roughly 57 current employees will be offered positions, securing more than 50 local jobs.
  • The purchase price was not disclosed after both parties agreed to confidentiality.
  • Saxony leaders welcomed the decision, which follows Technisat’s earlier plan to relocate production to Poland due to high energy and labor costs.
