ALD Completes Third Phase Expansion of New Hanau Complex During a celebration with invit-
ed guests, ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH completed construction of their third new building in the Fraunhofer Sci- ence Park, Hanau, Germany. “ALD is an integral part of the material technology competence in Hanau, fits perfectly into Fraunhofer Science Park and contributes significantly to the further development of the area”, said Lord Mayor Claus Ka- minsky during the ceremony. “We are very pleased that the company is so suc- cessful and has now expanded locally for the second time”. The new buildings created space for more than 100 additional employ- ees, two assembly halls and a new R&D center. This significantly eases the space available for the ALD workforce in Hanau, which has meanwhile risen to more than 500 employees. “The con- tinuing good business development was accompanied by a parallel increase in the number of employees and led to in- crease space requirements in 2018”, re- ported Guido Löber, the CEO. “Recently we have had to move closer together and even create temporary solutions in order to find a place for all our employees. We are therefore very pleased that we can now move into the new buildings”.
5000 M² Space For More Than 100 ALD Employees The third construction phase at the ALD complex comprises a four-story office building with an area of 2,500 m² and another assembly hall with an area of 2,500 m². Identical to the large assembly hall from the first construction

phase, this has sufficient space and all necessary energy and media connec- tions including the associated pits. “We feel very comfortable here in
Hanau-Wolfgang and can optimally or- ganize our processes here and thus en- sure our workforce a future-proof and modern location in a highly technical environment,” said Michael Protzmann, Technical Managing Director. In the im- mediate vicinity of Fraunhofer and the Evonik IT Center, we see a first-class en- vironment and potential opportunities for conceivable additions. “Here, our newly established ‘Industry 4.0’ depart- ment and our research and development departments for metallurgy and heat treatment will work on pioneering prod- ucts such as Modultherm 3.0, which will increase the benefits for our customers,” explained Mr. Protzmann. The modern industrial site will also be rounded off by a sufficiently large parking garage, he said.
The administration of the globally
active ALD Heat Treatment Services has also moved into its new offices there. In the new hall, various systems will be in- stalled in the test center, which will be used both for the technological further development of processes and for the design of processes to customer-specific requirements. “It is very fortunate for Hanau that
ALD is so satisfied with the company’s location and is preparing for the future here,” said the Mayor and wished all employees and management all the best and continued success for the move into the new buildings.
