Despite the corona pandemic, MULTIVAC is continuing its course of expansion in Asia. The company is constructing a new multi-purpose building, costing around 20 million euros, in the Japanese city of Tsukuba. Future areas of growth will include integrated systems, as well as the products from the FRITSCH and TVI business units.
In addition to the production areas, the new building will also include a Training Center for customers and staff, as well as showrooms for machines. It will be built in the Japanese city of Tsukuba, which is situated around 60 kilometers north-east of Tokyo, on an area of land covering a total of 14,400 square meters. This equates to the size of two football pitches. The first spade of earth was turned in May 2021, and the opening is planned for the summer of 2022. The investment amounts to around 20 million euros.
