Topcon announces plans for new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Germany

The announcement was made during a groundbreaking ceremony on April 16. The ceremony coincided with the production milestone of the one-millionth product to come off the line at the company’s current Geisenheim facility, where in-cab displays are made for Topcon’s agriculture and construction solutions portfolios as well as for global OEM customers.

The new facility represents a substantial investment by Topcon, signaling the company’s dedication to expanding manufacturing capabilities and strengthening its presence in Europe. Unlike the existing location, this facility will be owned by Topcon, allowing for increased production capacities to triple the number of units produced annually. The new facility consolidates all operational buildings under one roof, expanding the footprint to approximately 8,300 square meters (90,000 square feet), enhancing production efficiency and streamlining operations.

“The current operation is one of the company’s highest-rated manufacturing facilities, with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, as well as an IATF automotive certification. The testing lab has become a standard for us worldwide,” said Mathias Kühn, senior vice president of Global Operations for Topcon. “The dedicated manufacturing of operator consoles for heavy machinery is a world-class example of success based on a strong core competency. The new facility is designed to support enhanced manufacturing automation, which is key to accelerating production and growth.”
