Freudenberg starts construction of competence centre in Italy

In January 2021, Freudenberg announced plans to set up two competence centres. In future, the company will concentrate on manufacturing base material for interlinings at the Weinheim location. Base material finishing and coating is to be bundled at Sant´Omero. For this purpose, the production plant will be relocated from Weinheim to Sant´Omero and recommissioned in a newly-built production hall, the company said in a press release.

“Thanks to the outstanding work of our employees, this complex project is running to schedule despite the corona pandemic, and we have now reached this important milestone. The traditional ground-breaking ceremony with senior representatives from local authorities and Freudenberg management was cancelled due to the high number of coronavirus cases in the area,” Hannah Koeppen, general manager Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel Europe said in a statement.
