Ventec Consolidates and Upgrades European Production and Logistics Center in Germany
October 10, 2024 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Ventec International Group has begun consolidating operations and installing new, state-of-the-art facilities at its European production and logistics hub in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany.
Following the PCB asset acquisition agreement with Holders Technology on October 21, 2021, Ventec is now embarking on the next phase of their customer-centric expansion plans. This will involve the consolidation of the current two independently situated facilities in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany into a single modern European Production and Logistics Center. When completed, the comprehensive upgrade of the 13,500 m² campus, close to the town and amenities, will provide modern offices, fully equipped production halls, and a new, €2-million, 1800 m² warehouse.
The enhanced facilities will include a new enlarged prepreg cutting cleanroom, a new hall for cutting of the full range of Ventec laminate materials, and new, state-of-the-art drilling and milling machines for tooling our range of drill entry and exit and lamination consumable materials. A modern dust-extraction system meeting the latest CO²-reduction requirements will maintain the environment in the non-CCL area, while solar power and heat pumps will ensure buildings meet the latest eco guidelines.
The production halls will separate the areas for handling varnish products from Taiyo, Ventec CCL & prepreg, and distribution release films and non-CCL materials, enabling each to benefit from an optimized layout to ensure efficient and smooth process flows that support both volume and quick turn service to our customers in the EMEA region.
"We are investing in our vision to take the EMEA business forward into the future, as we strive to continually improve services for customers, enhance delivery performance, raise quality, and ensure the best possible working environment for our people," said Frank Lorentz, General Manager of Ventec's wholly owned subsidiary Ventec Central Europe GmbH, at the groundbreaking ceremony commencing the project.
Mark Goodwin, COO EMEA & Americas added: "The investment in our European Production & Logistics Center is a testament to Ventec’s commitment to driving sustainable development across our global supply chain network. The increased footprint with enhanced volume and quick turn servicing capability and large warehousing facilities in a new centralized building is critical to the successful execution of our growth strategy. When completed, our new facilities will contribute towards further strengthening the global Ventec supply chain to meet the constantly evolving needs of the electronics manufacturing community throughout EMEA and worldwide."
The project is organized to ensure the business at Kirchheimbolanden, Germany can maintain continuous production and delivery of ongoing orders. Work is scheduled to be completed in the final quarter of 2025.
