Company Information

Leonding (euro adhoc) - In the course of plant enlargement, the
Rosenbauer Group's competence center for compact vehicles and
fixtures, which is located in Neidling, Lower Austria, has been
expanded with new halls for profile processing and component
manufacture. The new buildings have an area of around 5,400m² and
also include a high-bay storage warehouse, an automated long material
store and additional office space. Furthermore, a 1,500m² shed has
been erected for operational activities such as testing in the course
of vehicle handovers. All in all, these projects have involved an
investment volume of 10mEUR.

In Neidling, which is sited near the regional capital of St. Pölten,
Rosenbauer manufactures Compact Line vehicles, components and the
COMFORT fixtures system. The Compact Line consists of small vehicles
on pick-ups with weights of up to 5.4t, trucks with original box
structures of up to 8.0t, and vehicles with large area structures and
a total weight of up to 13t. The COMFORT system includes equipment
supports and fixtures installed in vehicles, as well as manual and
electrical lifting and lowering devices for portable pumps, ladders
and other heavy items. In addition, Neidling has workshops and two
service vehicles, which enable it to serve as a service and sales
point for the Lower Austrian fire services.

Since it was taken over in 1990, the Neidling works has been
continually expanded and in recent years has been turned into an
extremely modern manufacturing location. At the start of the new
millennium, the plant's production technology was brought up to the
state-of-the-art and in 2007 a further enlargement program was
launched owing to a large increase in production output. This
resulted in another increase in manufacturing capacity of around 50
per cent. On the one hand, this expansion program involved the
expansion of the plant site to 41,000m² and the addition of 13,000m²
of hall space. The plant was also fitted with a new paint shop, which
employs the latest technology including heat recovery, which has
resulted in a reduction in emissions.

In 2012, the Neidling plant's sales revenues rose to 30mEUR. Current
annual output consists of roughly 250 COMPACT LINE trucks with
lightweight superstructures and integrated components, which apart
from the COMFORT fixtures system, include SCBA holders, supports for
FOX portable pumps and crew cabin doors. Employee numbers have also
risen continually in step with plant expansion and additional
apprenticeships have been created. Today, Neidling has workforce of
200, including 13 apprentices and the company also employs 43 leasing
personnel.
