The PI Group has significantly expanded its location in the Breisgau Business Park in Eschbach, Germany, with an additional 6,500 m² of space. As a manufacturer of mechanical systems, drive technology, and control solutions for high-precision motion and positioning tasks, PI serves customers in global growth sectors such as the semiconductor industry, photonics, and laser materials processing.
“PI has been on a steady growth path for years. With the new building, we are meeting our customers‘ increasing demands for modern, future-proof development and production facilities,” emphasizes Markus Spanner, CEO of the PI Group. With the additional space, the company plans to triple the site’s capacity.

Solar Power and Green District Heating
The new building was also designed to meet the highest environmental standards. In addition to the use of sustainable building and insulation materials, a 213 kWp photovoltaic system was installed on the roof, generating renewable electricity, and contributing to the energy transition. In addition to the new building, the district heating concept has also been applied to the existing plant.
