Our Mission

Since 2011, we have built more than 70 companies in the Startup Factories with a total investment of over EUR 100 million. Our Startup Factory customer family covers the broad spectrum of high-class mainly German SMEs across the sectors of mechanical engineering and equipment manufacturing, automotive suppliers, tools and components, measurement technology, environmental technology, electronics, automation and medical technology.

In Kunshan, just outside Shanghai, in Fort Mill, south of Charlotte, and in Sunguvachatram near Chennai, we offer European mid-sized companies a total of more than 50,000 square meters of office, production and logistics space.

Locally experienced management teams run the operative business of currently more than 45 foreign 100%-subsidiaries of European companies with a total of around 400 employees.

In order to avoid conflicts of interest in our concept of shared resources and to maintain confidentiality, we do not include companies under our umbrella that are in competition with each other.

In combination with flexibly rentable production space, the Startup Factory offers a comprehensive service package that includes all central administrative activities and overhead functions. Our customers can concentrate fully on production and business development.
