New groundbreaking in Nonnweiler: Diehl Defense expands strongly

Diehl Defense, a company in the armaments industry, carried out the groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of its location in Nonnweiler on Monday. In this region in the district of St. Wendel, an expansion is to be carried out in order to offer the increasing requirements an appropriate framework. According to a company announcement, this step is considered necessary to further promote future growth.

As a important partner of the Bundeswehr and international armed forces, Diehl Defense is producing the latest technology in the field of air defense, steering aircraft and ammunitions. The increasing global demand for such armaments products is due to the increase in conflicts worldwide, which is also reflected in the business development of the company. The number of employees has more than doubled in recent years; from 2800 in 2021 to over 4400 today.

At the Nonnweiler location, not only a new building is being built for the production of steering flight bodies, but also a technology center for the energy supply of the company. This measure serves to optimize the operational processes and meet the requirements for modern armaments production. Diehl Defense also plans to build additional buildings on the Maasberg and Mariahütte in the coming years.

The desired expansion goes hand in hand with a planned increase in the number of employees, which is to grow from the current approximately 700 to around 800 by the end of next year. This shows that Diehl Defense is able to react quickly to the global market development and set up accordingly in order to remain competitive in the future.

The development of the Nonnweiler location is not only important for the company, but also for the region, since it signals increasing economic activity and potentially brings new employment opportunities. Diehl Defense thus actively contributes to strengthening Saarland business location.
