Vetter Production Site Saarlouis
With our new production site in Saarlouis, we expand our commercial manufacturing capacity and reinforce our long-term growth strategy in Europe.
Snapshot
A new site to support long-term growth
By building a new commercial manufacturing facility in Saarlouis, Germany, we are strategically strengthening our global footprint and addressing the growing demand for aseptic filling services.
The site is being developed on a 95-acre property within an emerging technology park and benefits from excellent infrastructure as well as strong regional labor market conditions.
With an initial investment of approximately €480 million, the site will be developed in multiple construction phases. Long term, the site is intended to operate autonomously across production and packaging, visual inspection, laboratories and storage. Its proximity to Vetter’s headquarters in Ravensburg enables an efficient ramp-up and faster start of operations.
Milestones
Construction begins with ceremonial groundbreaking
We celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony featuring state and regional representatives and project partners. We advance our expansion with a 50,000 sqm facility.
Senator h.c. Udo J. Vetter, Chairman of the Advisory Board and member of the owner family: "Today's groundbreaking ceremony marks a decisive step for the future of our family business. With our new location in Saarlouis, we are setting the course for further sustainable growth. We are creating the conditions to further expand our capacities in the field of complex drug product manufacturing. This underlines our continuous approach to offer our international customers the resources, quality and reliability they need and are accustomed to from us."
Building permit application submitted
As part of a meeting with the Saarland state government, we confirmed our plans to build a state‑of‑the‑art production facility in the Saarland region of southwest Germany. This underscores our long-term growth strategy and our clear commitment to Germany’s economic landscape.
