PELI adds production capacity at Germany plant

PELI has installed a new rotomoulding machine at its Crottendorf, Germany, facility to expand protective case output for customers across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India. The investment is designed to improve supply continuity, production flexibility and response times as demand grows.

Why it matters: - The Crottendorf expansion gives PELI more room to meet demand for protective cases across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India. - The added capacity is meant to improve supply continuity for commercial, industrial and defence customers. - The facility’s role as a European manufacturing base becomes more important as PELI looks to shorten response times and increase flexibility.

What happened: - PELI installed and commissioned a new rotomoulding machine at its manufacturing facility in Crottendorf, Germany. - The company described the machine as one of the most significant investments made at the site to date. - The Crottendorf facility produces protective cases for customers across the EMEAI region.

The details: - The new rotomoulding line adds to the site’s existing injection moulding capacity. - The facility also has expanded assembly operations and enhanced product customisation capabilities. - PELI says the investment strengthens production flexibility, operational efficiency and supply continuity. - The Crottendorf site has 40% more assembly and production space. - The workforce at the site has increased by 80%. - The operation is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. - PELI says the site remains the leading European manufacturer of plastic made protective cases. - Stephan Corti, chief commercial officer at PELI, said the investment supports faster responses to customer demand while maintaining quality and reliability. - Corti also said the expansion supports customers in commercial, industrial and defence sectors, including PELI’s long-standing role as a preferential supplier to NATO. - Nina Borisova, site director, said Crottendorf has become a strategic manufacturing hub for PELI in Europe. - Borisova said the site serves as a key production hub for customers throughout EMEAI.

Between the lines: - The investment signals that PELI is using its German plant to anchor more of its European supply chain. - The combination of more space, more workers and more equipment suggests the company is preparing for sustained demand rather than a short-term bump. - The NATO reference points to a customer base where reliability and delivery consistency carry extra weight.

What's next: - PELI is likely to keep building out the Crottendorf site as a long-term manufacturing hub. - Customers in the EMEAI region should see faster production response and broader support from the expanded facility. - More information is available on PELI’s website.
