Production Plants and Joint Ventures
In June 2006, Brose’s just-in-sequence plant in Sindelfingen/Weil im Schönbuch went operational. Prior to start of operations, the door-system production for the Mercedes Benz S-Class was moved to the new site from Herrenberg where these products had previously been assembled in rented premises. The company decided to build a new facility because greater production capacities will be required as of 2007 the new C-Class and 2008 further car models from Mercedes Benz will be equipped with Brose door systems.
The Sindelfingen plant is one of twelve JIS plants in the corporate group. Production and delivery of the Brose products is carried out in line with the vehicle production schedule. 320 minutes after receipt of the delivery order from Mercedes-Benz in Sindelfingen, the door systems are ready to be installed at the final assembly line in the Mercedes plant eleven kilometers away.
The Sindelfingen sales office, which provides customer support for Mercedes Benz, is also based at the location.
There are approx. 130 employees working for Brose at Sindelfingen/Weil im Schönbuch.
