A simultaneous contract with the pharmaceutical service provider Vetter, who will gradually take over 40 hectares of the site, marks the conversion of the location into a center for pharmaceutical production. Vetter plans to build a new production facility there to expand its capacities. According to Blaulichteport Saarland , this step is considered an important milestone that should not only bring the region new workplaces, but also economical stability. Vetter, a global manufacturer of complex medication, plans to expand its market leadership in the long term and increase its production capacities.

The Prime Minister of Saarland, Anke Rehlinger, emphasized in a statement that with the settlement of Vetter, the cancellation of Ford was a hard blow, which was alleviated by the new perspectives. Economic Minister Jürgen Barke indicated that the Thuringian state government will support all the necessary steps to successfully implement this development. Vetter could significantly enrich the economic landscape of the Saarland by creating a new location and set further course for future investments.
