New investor plans expansion of Mahlstetten site and long-term jobs
Forschner PTM GmbH operates the precision turned parts division with around 100 employees at the Mahlstetten site. With its sale, the Forschner Group is pursuing the strategic goal of focusing more strongly on the steadily growing challenges and opportunities in the field of electromobility and thus on its core business.
