Completion of building shell - plant will combine state-of-the-art cable production with a high-tech laboratory and development Centre

Nuremberg – Leoni, a global provider of energy and data management solutions in the automotive sector and other industries, is celebrating the completion of the building shell of the Factory of the Future at today's topping-out ceremony. This marks the next milestone in the realization of its Competence Centre in Roth: Through digital technologies, intelligent products and solutions and cloud-based services the company will here create the basis for trailblazing production.

The megatrends of e-mobility, autonomous driving and connectivity are leading to serious changes in the structures of the automotive sector right now. In particular, the wiring – the vehicle’s nervous system – must adapt to these new requirements. Increasing data rates and rapidly growing power demand call for new, more flexible data and power architectures. “We want to take even better advantage of the opportunities presented by digitalization in the future. To this end, we are expanding our portfolio to include intelligent cables, systems and services.  The Factory of the Future will provide ideal underlying conditions for innovation and efficient production,” said Bruno Fankhauser, member of the Board of Directors of Leoni AG with responsibility for the Wire & Cable Solutions Division.
