Desay Automotive: Rapid growth in Weimar

Desay Automotive Europe GmbH is expanding rapidly in central Thuringia: The Chinese group recently officially opened a new production and logistics center at its new location at Schwanseestraße 143 in Weimar. At the new site about 40 people will produce radios, displays and other infotainment solutions for the vehicles of the future.

A Hungarian factory used to assemble, test, store and ship the components. Desay’s management decided to relocate these activities to Weimar, a city where Desay already has a large operation: In the industrial area in Weimar-Legefeld the company has been operating a development center and prototype laboratory where manufacturers have been having their “development mules” (i.e. pre-series vehicles) equipped and tested. This new site will also be home to a state-of-the-art 3D antenna measurement chamber and a laboratory and office building. So, the company still has big plans in Thuringia, as a result of which the number of employees will increase to about 300 until 2025. (hw)
