PTR HARTMANN Opens New Production Facility in Baiersdorf
17.09.2025
Increasing requirements for electrotechnical components, shorter delivery times and increasingly complex supply chains present companies with new challenges. Today, customers expect more than technically reliable products. High delivery capability, stable processes and long term product availability are equally important.
To meet these requirements in the future, PTR HARTMANN has built a new production facility in Baiersdorf. The modern site combines additional production capacity with digital processes, short internal distances, modern office space and a sustainable energy concept.
The new facility therefore provides the foundation for efficient production and a reliable long term supply of electrotechnical components.
Increased Production Capacity for Growing Customer Requirements
Companies in the electrical and electronics industries require components that are reliably available and meet consistently high quality standards. Increasing volumes, fluctuating demand and shorter product life cycles place additional pressure on production processes and supply chains.
The new PTR HARTMANN facility in Baiersdorf provides significantly expanded production capabilities. Approximately 4,382 square metres of production space and around 1,381 square metres of modern office space have been created on a site covering approximately 13,363 square metres.
The additional space provides the basis for significantly expanding production capacity at the site. Capacity reserves have also been included to allow PTR HARTMANN to respond flexibly to future growth, new product requirements and increasing customer demand.
Customers benefit from increased production capacity, improved delivery capability and additional opportunities for customer specific solutions.
Modern Production at the Baiersdorf Site
The new PTR HARTMANN production facility in Baiersdorf is designed for modern and increasingly digital production processes. Production areas, storage facilities and internal routes have been arranged to support efficient material flows and well coordinated processes.
Injection moulding is an important production process at the site. One indication of its significance is the building’s energy concept, which uses waste heat generated by the injection moulding machines to control the building temperature.
PTR HARTMANN therefore combines industrial production with the efficient use of energy generated during manufacturing.
Injection Moulding as an Important Production Process
Injection moulding enables plastic components to be manufactured in large volumes with consistent precision. The process is particularly suitable for components where accurate dimensions, reproducible quality and cost effective series production are essential.
The injection moulding machines installed at the site demonstrate that plastics technology is an important part of production in Baiersdorf. Instead of being released unused, the waste heat generated by the machines is integrated into the building concept.
For customers, this means that manufacturing processes and energy efficiency are closely linked at the new facility.
New Production Line for Rotary Coded Switches
A new highly automated production line for the P/PT65 rotary coded switch series is scheduled to be commissioned at the end of 2026.
The new production line is intended to further automate manufacturing processes and provide additional capacity. Automated processes can contribute to stable production, consistent product quality and the reliable manufacture of higher volumes.
The investment in the new line demonstrates that PTR HARTMANN is continuing to develop the Baiersdorf site and is specifically investing in modern production technology.
Paperless Production and Digital Processes
In addition to expanding the available production space, the digitalisation of manufacturing processes is an important part of the new facility.
The site is designed around a largely paperless production concept. Production information, work instructions and relevant process data can be provided digitally and updated more quickly when changes are required.
This improves process transparency and makes it easier to exchange information between the different departments.
For customers, digital processes can contribute to greater traceability, stable production workflows and a high level of reproducibility for manufactured components.
Optimised Logistics with a Central Parts Warehouse
Another important part of the new site concept is the central parts warehouse. It consolidates the supply of materials for the different production areas and supports the structured provision of the required components and materials.
Shorter distances between the warehouse and production can help provide materials more quickly and organise internal transport processes more efficiently.
The logistics concept is complemented by a central loading dock that supports structured incoming goods processes and efficient dispatch operations.
For customers, this provides improved conditions for reliable production planning and dependable deliveries.
Prepared for Autonomous Transport Systems
The new production facility has also been prepared for the future use of autonomous transport systems.
These systems can independently transport materials between the warehouse, production areas and other parts of the facility. This can automate internal transport routes and further improve material flows.
Although autonomous transport systems may not yet be in full operation, the structural and technical preparations provide a foundation for further automation in the future.
PTR HARTMANN can therefore gradually adapt the facility to new technical requirements and increasing production volumes.
Modern Office Space Supports Close Cooperation
In addition to the production areas, modern office facilities have also been created in Baiersdorf. Approximately 1,381 square metres provide workplaces, meeting rooms and communication areas for the different departments.
The close proximity of administration, sales, product development, quality assurance and production makes internal cooperation easier. Information can be exchanged more quickly and decisions can be coordinated more efficiently.
Customers also benefit from this close connection. Technical questions, product modifications and organisational requirements can be discussed directly between the departments involved.
The modern office facilities are therefore an important part of the overall concept. They support close cooperation between customer service, technical expertise and industrial production.
Sustainable Energy and Building Concept
In addition to capacity and efficiency, the sustainability of industrial production processes is becoming increasingly important.
The new site in Baiersdorf therefore features a comprehensive energy and building concept. This includes a photovoltaic system with an output of approximately 150 kWp, which generates part of the electricity required directly at the facility.
The waste heat generated by the injection moulding machines is also used to control the temperature inside the building. This allows energy generated during production to be used effectively.
An energy monitoring system records the consumption of individual production areas. This makes it possible to identify potential savings and optimise production processes in a targeted manner.
Further elements of the building concept include:
• surface heating and cooling
• external solar shading
• energy efficient lighting
• rainwater retention
• modern heating and ventilation technology
• systematic monitoring of energy consumption
For customers, the sustainable site concept supports a more responsible supply chain and provides a reliable basis for long term production in Germany.
Benefits of the New Facility for Customers
The new facility in Baiersdorf does more than improve internal processes at PTR HARTMANN. It also provides clear benefits for customers.
These include:
• increased production capacity
• improved delivery capability
• more efficient production processes
• faster internal coordination
• additional opportunities for customer specific solutions
• modern and increasingly automated manufacturing
• a long term production perspective in Germany
The central parts warehouse, paperless processes and preparations for autonomous transport systems contribute to more efficient production and logistics.
At the same time, the new production line for the P/PT65 rotary coded switch series will create additional capacity and further strengthen automation at the site.
A Clear Commitment to Germany as a Production Location
With the new facility in Baiersdorf, PTR HARTMANN is making a clear commitment to the region, the German SME sector and Germany as a production location.
This commitment is reflected in the guiding statement:
“Courage for Germany as a business location and its strong SMEs.”
The new facility combines modern production processes, digital workflows, sustainable building technology and contemporary office environments under one roof.
PTR HARTMANN is therefore making a long term investment in additional production capacity, modern technologies, efficient processes and attractive workplaces.
For customers, this commitment provides a reliable basis for long term cooperation, stable production processes and the dependable supply of electrotechnical components manufactured in Germany.
