New site
Through acquisition of a 90,000 m² site in the Southern industrial area of Rinteln, Hubert Stüken GmbH & CO. KG has set the stage for additional growth. The sales contract for the land was officially signed by mayor Karl-Heinz Buchholz and Dr. Hubert Schmidt, managing director of Stüken.
In recent years STÜKEN has successfully expanded its business, particularly in the automotive sector. To support ever increasing customer demands, capital investments and equipment installations have nearly filled the existing facility and expansion of the Stüken site in Rinteln’s Northern Industrial Area is no longer possible.
Stüken therefore plans to add a new facililty in the near future and according to
Dr. Hubert Schmidt: „This year we will develop a detailed plan for the building design. In the first stage we want to establish a production hall with some 8,000 m² which will represent expansion of the existing production space by approximately 20 percent. “
