This approach allows us to offer our customers not only cutting-edge technology, but also a high level of security and reliability," says Christian Leicher, President and CEO of Rohde & Schwarz, in a press release.
Michael Dill, Plant Manager in Memmingen, says that the investment will strengthen the Memmingen location over the long term and that the company plans to continue growing and recruit additional staff there.
