As part of a strategic realignment, Rotovia intends to gradually close the production site in Hockenheim (Germany).
A difficult but strategic decision for Rotovia’s future
After a thorough examination of all relevant aspects and a comprehensive evaluation of the company’s economic situation, Rotovia’s management has taken the difficult decision to gradually close the production site in Hockenheim, Germany, by the second quarter of 2026. This decision was not taken lightly, but is the result of a lengthy, intensive analysis process and strategic considerations at a global level. The decision was based on economic as well as structural and market-specific factors.
Extraordinary commitment and a high sense of responsibility
The history of this site is characterized by extraordinary commitment, a high sense of responsibility and an impressive identification with the company. This achievement will remain part of our collective heritage, even if this site cannot continue to exist in its current form. We deeply regret this development. However, we are convinced that this step – as painful as it is – is necessary in order to make Rotovia as a whole fit for the future, to strengthen our innovative power and to successfully open up new markets.
