Wismar in the upswing: TKMS is investing millions in submarine production!

Wismar, Deutschland - Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) is preparing for the future of submarine production and is planning a comprehensive modernization of the shipyard in Wismar. Driven by a billion -dollar order from Germany and Norway, a medium three -digit million amount is invested in order to significantly expand the production capacities. This decision is part of a greater strategy to ensure more efficient production and compliance with strict deadlines for the reorganization of submarine production, such as iT Boltwise reported.

After approval of the Bundestag's budget committee and the official conclusion of the contract between the Bundeswehr and TKMS, the armaments giant has also launched the IG Metall on the construction of six submarines of the latest 212CD class. The union calls for quick clarity about the promised jobs in Wismar, where TKMS expects up to 1,500 new positions, but the creation of these places is stretched over several years. The first settings are only expected after the work on a large cruise ship for Disney, such as "https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vorpommern/nach-u-boot-tkms-tkms-investiT-Million-in-werft-in-wismar1108.html" Class = "Source_2"> NDR reports.

early production start and extensive plans

The investment in Wismar should not only boost submarine production, but also expand the future capacity of the shipyard so that other ships such as frigates can also be realized. The production of the first submarines of the new class is already in the specified time frame. TKMS sees the shipyard in Wismar as the central location for the production of submarines and is already planning the beginning of the extensive construction work for 2025, while a possible production of the research ship Polarstern 2 is considered.

The decision to modernize the shipyard in Wismar emphasizes TKMS's strategy to strengthen the maritime defense industry. In view of increasing international demand, the future of the company and the employees in the region remains extremely promising from an economic perspective.
