The ceremony was attended by figures from industry and politics, including Mona Neubaur, Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Mayor Felix Heinrich, Jochen Burg, CEO of SMS group, and the company’s owners, the Weiss family.

Mona Neubaur, North Rhine-Westphalia’s minister for economic affairs and climate protection, stated: “The new SMS campus is an impressive example of innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility. The investment illustrates that, as a location for business, North Rhine-Westphalia offers the best conditions for globally successful companies. I am particularly pleased that SMS group continues to commit to shaping the global transformation to climate-neutral production from the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia. In this way, it is the people from North Rhine-Westphalia who are providing a vital impetus for the sustainable and innovative development of the industry that stretches far beyond the state itself.”
