Sulzer is expanding GEKA’s manufacturing site in Bechhofen, Germany, generating more than 250 new jobs.

GEKA has been part of the Swiss Sulzer group for almost a year. With the additional 12 000 m2 of new manufacturing space, the production area will be almost doubled.

This expansion became necessary because of the significant growth that GEKA has seen for the last two years — causing the Bechhofen and Bamberg facilities to reach their full manufacturing capacities.

Construction on the new site will begin in 2017, and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2018.

Amaury de Menthière, Division President Applicator Systems, says, “This investment in the Bechhofen location shows that Sulzer is fully convinced of the success of its new Applicator Systems division — to which GEKA belongs — and that Sulzer is seeking to strengthen Bechhofen as a global headquarters for the beauty business.”
