Sustainable Investment for Medium-Term Capacity Expansion at All Sites
Globally, supply chains are torn, causing subsequent downtimes in manufacturing intermediate products, and interrupting supply chains. This also affects the PI Group and we, therefore, cannot always deliver on the date requested. We are fully aware that this can cause difficulties for many customers since we are part of their supply chain. This is why we started the "Sustainable Investment" initiative.
Systematical Approach
Under these current general conditions, there are no simple, fast solutions. For this, the disruptions throughout the whole value chain are too significant. With its "Sustainable Investment" initiative, PI is systematically creating the prerequisites for sustainable improvements:
Proactive Communication with Customers

Expanding Existing Capacities and Setting Up Additional Ones
Expanding Existing Capacities and Setting Up Additional Ones
Expanding existing capacities and setting up additional ones is an important part of our initiative. In 2021, we could already increase our global output by approx. 30 percent and hired more than 170 new employees. In 2021 and 2022, we will invest a total of more than 63 million euros in setting up additional capacities to meet the growing demand on-time. We plan to hire more than 200 new employees.
