First Sensor AG closes Munich site to improve operational efficiency
As a result of the ongoing evaluation of its operations, First Sensor AG (First Sensor) has announced the plan to close its site in Puchheim near Munich (FSM). The FSM site is mainly concentrated on distribution of transmitters and pressure sensors but also handles the calibration of products manufactured in at the site in Berlin-Weißensee. FSM activities will be migrated to the First Sensor sites in Berlin-Weißensee and Oberdischingen through the end of 2021. After the consolidation fixed costs will be reduced by around €3M per year so that costs of the closure have been amortized in the next 3-4 years. This will enhance First Sensor's competitiveness and supports the goal to become a more scalable business.
