WALDNER is investing in the future at its locations in Wangen im Allgäu and Öhringen: The new DOSOMAT Campus is gradually taking shape on the former Thiermann site in Wangen. At the same time, a new building for offices, assembly, and warehousing is being constructed at the Hohenloher school facilities in Öhringen—which have been part of the WALDNER Group since 2014. With these two construction projects, WALDNER is creating modern work environments and further developing its locations for the long term. 

“When we invest in new buildings today, we are investing above all in people and in the future of our locations,” says Jochen Früh, CEO of the WALDNER Group. In Wangen, a multi-story office building is being constructed on the southern portion of the former Thiermann site to house various departments of the DOSOMAT Packaging Solutions business unit. The groundbreaking for the office building—which is scheduled for completion by early 2028 and will accommodate up to 160 employees—marks another step in the company’s continued development at its Wangen location.

“We want to offer our employees good working conditions while also creating the conditions necessary for our companies to continue developing at their respective locations. The current construction projects in Wangen and Öhringen are therefore an important sign of the long-term development of our locations,” Früh continued.  

In total, WALDNER is investing a mid-double-digit million amount at both locations. 

A Site with Potential

The multi-story office building in Wangen is being designed with a view toward sustainable and future-proof use. A photovoltaic system on the roof, as well as PV systems on the covered parking spaces, will support the energy supply. To carry out the construction project, WALDNER is once again collaborating with the Wangen-based company Biedenkapp. This regional partner has already successfully completed several construction projects at the site.

With the new office building and the modern production hall that has already been occupied, the development of the former Thiermann site continues to take shape and is increasingly becoming the “DOSOMAT Campus.” All areas of expertise can be consolidated here, which means shorter distances and another step toward even greater efficiency.

“We greatly appreciate having been given this opportunity here at the Wangen site,” says Jochen Früh. “As one of the region’s largest employers, we bear a special responsibility. The investments in the DOSOMAT Campus are therefore an important signal for us: We want to be successful here in the long term, secure jobs, and shape a bright future together with the region.”

For the WALDNER Group, the former Thiermann site offers the opportunity to utilize additional space in the immediate vicinity of the existing location and to further develop the company’s presence in Wangen im Allgäu over the long term. For now, however, no further construction projects are planned. The building that formerly housed the Thiermann specialty store, for example, will remain as is for the time being and continues to be leased out. 

Modern Planning for the Future 

The site in Öhringen is also being further developed: At the headquarters of Hohenloher Schuleinrichtungen GmbH & Co. KG, a new office building and an adjacent assembly and storage hall are being constructed—the groundbreaking ceremony for this project also took place this week. Together with the construction projects in Wangen, the project in Öhringen represents another building block in the long-term development of the site.
