New assembly area at Vecoplan creates space for heavy machinery assembly
Vecoplan AG, a leading provider of machinery and plant solutions for shredding, conveying, and processing, is allocating over five million euros to expand its principal facility in Bad Marienberg. The company has increased the size of Plant I by 1,900 m² and invested in advanced production equipment. In response to rising demands in production and logistics, Vecoplan is enhancing assembly capacity and constructing a state-of-the-art warehouse for long-span goods.
“We are continuing to witness a high level of demand,” says Vecoplan’s CEO Werner Berens. “We’ve had to create additional space, especially in preassembly, to meet the growing need for our heavy machinery.” The expanded warehouse will offer 1,900 m² of additional floor space, of which 850 m² will be devoted to preassembly. The existing warehouse concept was completely revised in order to make efficient use of the new space. In past years, Vecoplan had already invested in new machinery for material preparation. A key element in the restructuring is the new warehouse for long-span goods, which, in the future, will be directly connected with the internal ERP system to ensure a continuous, digitally controlled flow of products. The roofed delivery area will additionally ensure that trucks can be safely unloaded and have protection from the weather.
Groundbreaking for the new warehouse complex took place in spring 2025, with completion set for Q2 2026 and progress so far on schedule. Daniel Dittmann, Director of Operations at Vecoplan, notes that expanding during active operations will require strong communication to minimise disruption, but reports that work and parts supply have proceeded smoothly.
Once the new warehouse is finished, Vecoplan will be able to assemble larger machines and streamline operations to meet rising demand. Werner Berens states, “We’re well positioned for the future. This investment enables us to grow efficiently.”
