plant incorporates the latest advances in car manufacturing as it
aims to meet customer needs and expectations. Modern, modular manufacturing
allows flexible, demand-orientated vehicle production. In close
collaboration with well-established service providers, the production
process can be dynamically adapted at any time to meet current requirements.

The BMW car plant represents a new concept in car production. The
new production campus combines the construction process of the automobile
with the everyday activities which surround the production plant employing
5,500 employees. The central building forms the communications hub
and meeting place of the plant; it is from here that all other areas
of the car plant can be seen or experienced. Semi-finished body shells
are transported through the central building from each of the three
respective core areas on specially constructed conveyors. |

Worlds largest brown coal plant
The Lippendorf base-load power plant is located in the Free State of Saxony, about 15 kilometres south of Leipzig, the City of fairs. As early as in 1969 and 1971, power plant facilities for generating electricity from lignite were built in Thierbach nearby. As retrofitting with up-to-date environmental technology was not possible due to technical and economic reasons, two newly built units were started up in Lippendorf. With a net efficiency of approx. 43 percent, Lippendorf power station is presently one of the most up-to-date plants generating power from lignite worldwide. |

The mill in Eilenburg is one of the most up-to-date newsprint paper
mills in the world.
Recycled newsprint and de-inked market pulp have been produced here
since September 1994. Recovered paper is our most important raw material.
It is delivered in bales or inbulk and afterwards processed in a modern
flotation de-inking plant. In this process the printing inks and other
impurities are removed from the recovered paper pulp. The result is
a standard or improved quality newsprint paper ranging from 40 to
52 g/m2, produced on a 10-metre wide twin-wire paper machine. |
