On Wednesday, Peter Huber Kältemaschinenbau AG marks the official start of construction for another expansion of its headquarters in Offenburg-Elgersweier with a ground-breaking ceremony. Having recently completed the new administration building, the family business is now investing in expanding its production capacity thanks to stable growth. The new building was also designed by architect Wilhelm Kasten and Kenzingen-based Freyler Industriebau will be handling the construction. A 4,500 m² production hall and 600 m2 of additional office and social space are planned. Completion is scheduled for spring 2021.

They are used in such industries as the automotive sector, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, the food industry, aerospace, and medical technology. At the Tango factory headquarters in Offenburg, the family company currently employs about 360 people. The successful SME's developments have been honoured several times as TOP 100 Innovator and as Innovator of the Year. The Huber family is happy about the steady growth of their company. "It shows that our strategic orientation and specialisation in our core competency for high-precision temperature control technology have been right. We are investing heavily in basic research in our field, for example with the Universities of Offenburg and Karlsruhe," Daniel Huber commented. This is the only way the company could develop into a global innovation and technology leader for high-precision temperature control technology.
