LEONHARD KURZ, Fürth, Germany, announced its new building. After around 1.5 years of construction, the time had finally come on LEONHARD KURZ’S new assembly and central building (KUZ). The building was officially opened in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. The approximately 4,000 square meter and approximately 15-meter high, ultra-modern building will be the new home of the assembly of the Business Area Industrial (BAI) products.

Thanks to digitalization, many processes will be able to run even more efficiently in the future, and many workflows and processes have been optimized in many ways.
