"The expansion of our Frankfurt site is an important milestone in our company strategy," says Ilse Henne, CEO of thyssenkrupp Schulte. "Our core competencies include the development of tailored material and supply chain solutions which we deliver reliably nationwide – always close to our customers, enabling them to concentrate fully on their core business. The Osthafen site offers the ideal conditions for this."
Promising perspectives
The city of Frankfurt am Main is aiming to expand and further improve the good, competitive conditions for companies in the Osthafen district. "Several years ago we set out to secure Osthafen with its outstanding infrastructure as a long-term industrial site," says Councilor Markus Frank. "We are pleased that with thyssenkrupp Schulte we can now offer reliable perspectives to a further company."
With the Council’s adoption of the "Osthafen development 2050+" plan in 2013, the city of Frankfurt am Main resolved to secure the area as a commercial site up to 2050.
