Jenoptik Announces New Clean Room Factory in Dresden

Jenoptik, a leading global technology group, has announced plans to build a new factory in Dresden, Germany. The new facility will specialize in the production of sensors for the semiconductor equipment industry.

The CEO of Jenoptik, overseeing this project, is Dr. Stefan Traeger. He is joined on the Jenoptik executive board in 2025 by Dr. Prisca Havranek-Kosicek and Dr. Ralf Kuschnereit.

The new factory, scheduled for completion, is a testament to Jenoptik's commitment to continued investment and development in its German operations. It is expected to contribute significantly to the growth and expansion of Jenoptik's operations in Dresden.

Jenoptik's production sites for high-precision and micro-optics also include locations in Jena and Triptis, Thuringia, Heerbrugg, Switzerland, Jupiter, Florida, and Huntsville, Alabama, in addition to Dresden. With the new production site, the number of employees in Dresden is expected to increase from around 90 to more than 120.

The topping-out crane, a traditional construction milestone, has been set on the new clean room factory in Dresden. This marks a significant step forward in the construction process.

Production of sensors for the semiconductor equipment industry, among other things, will commence in the Airport Park, Dresden, from 2025. Jenoptik's investment in the new production site in Dresden is over 70 million euros.

The new production site will consolidate Jenoptik's production in Dresden, which was previously spread over several smaller external sites. This consolidation is expected to streamline operations and improve efficiency.

Jenoptik has been active in Dresden since 2007 and has grown to around 90 employees recently. The new factory is a promising sign of continued growth and expansion for the company in the city.

The new factory in Dresden is a significant development for Jenoptik and the semiconductor equipment industry. It underscores Jenoptik's commitment to innovation and its dedication to meeting the growing demands of the industry.
