How could we help?
Ready for the future
Our customer, Testo SE & Co KGaA, headquartered in the Black Forest, is a global leader in the field of portable and stationary measurement solutions.
In 37 subsidiaries around the globe, around 3,700 employees research, develop, produce and market for the high-tech company.
The measurement technology expert impresses over 650,000 customers worldwide with its high-precision measuring devices and innovative solutions.
Testo was founded in 1957. The first product was an electrical thermometer. 60 years later, Testo is represented as the market leader on every continent. The customers are at least as diverse as the product range: from the local craftsman’s business around the corner to the global pharmaceutical company, everything is represented. And they all have to make important decisions in their work every day. Measuring instruments, solutions and services from Testo give them the certainty that they are always making the right decisions. This ensures that food is safe, a heating system works properly, or that compliance is met in the manufacture of medicines.
The task: Greenfield planning for a new Testo production site in the EU with various expansion stages and construction phases.

Our contribution
Procedure and methodology
In addition to our recommended approach, starting with the determination of the project basics and the process analysis, we have carried out a technology screening for assembly and logistics.
This ensures the effectiveness and efficiency of production tasks and enables our customers to evaluate and make optimum use of the digitalization potential in store floor management.
The new production site was then dimensioned and various storage technologies, including Autostore, were considered, and an overall logistics concept and block layout were drawn up.
Successful collaboration
Lasting effect
The foundation stone for Testo’s new production site in Portugal has already been laid.
The new building is located in the municipality of Albergeria-a-Velha, around 70 kilometers south of Portugal’s second largest city, Porto.
Testo is investing a mid double-digit million euro sum in Portugal.
Covering a total area of around 21,000 square meters, the production plant will house production and logistics areas as well as a development area.
The construction project on the Atlantic coast has the potential to create up to 500 new jobs in the region.
(…) The new production site will not lead to redundancies in Germany.
