One of Bauer Maschinen’s largest investment projects in recent years is taking shape in Aresing, Germany.
Construction is underway on a new production and logistics facility, optimizing the company’s logistics processes and creating opportunities for further growth. The total investment is in the mid double-digit million-euro range.
The central element of the expansion is a production and logistics facility measuring about 22,000 square metres. The new building is complemented by a new open storage area south of the finishing facility.
“With the expansion of our plant in Aresing, we are making a targeted investment in the future viability of our company,” said Bauer’s Managing Director Wulf Flos. “We are creating more efficient processes, pooling expertise at a single location and thus strengthening our competitiveness in the long term. This project is a clear commitment to Aresing and to our employees.”
When complete, the new facility will house modern, clearly structured areas, including:
- Material management, the largest area in the new building in terms of floor space, with automatic small parts warehouse, pallet warehouse, warehouse for bulky parts, goods receiving and order picking for production.
- Production for the pre-assembly of steel and hydraulic components, electronics assembly and training areas for electronics technicians.
- Quality assurance: test rooms, restricted storage and offices for goods receipt and complaint processing.
- Shipping and packaging areas for components.
To the east of the new building, an additional outdoor storage and shipping area with a gantry crane will be constructed.
As well, Bauer is building a new modern training and customer centre. A new employee parking lot will also be built, as the existing lot will have to make way for the new building. An additional open space will be created for storing, loading and shipping large equipment.
Construction began at the end of January 2026. First, the new open storage area and employee parking lot will be completed to replace the area that will be built over in the future.
The Bauer Umwelt division of Bauer Resources GmbH has been commissioned to carry out the necessary earthworks. This includes the removal of farmland adjacent to the existing factory, where the new open storage area will be built, as well as the area east of the site where the new facility is planned.

A total of around 200,000 cubic metres of earth will be excavated and removed between February and June. This equals a daily removal volume of around 2,000 to 2,500 cubic metres, up to 180 truckloads on peak days. The material will be used for local construction projects and to fill gravel pits.
Construction of the facility is expected to begin this summer. Detailed planning for the interior work is already underway in the relevant departments at Bauer Maschinen. Completion of the entire project is scheduled for the second half of 2027, exactly 25 years after Bauer purchased the property in Aresing.
The expansion will allow elements of Bauer’s operations to be bundled in a targeted manner. Various departments from across the company will move to Aresing.
The central warehouse directly on site will make processes more efficient. Material flows will be shortened, coordination will be simplified and interfaces will be reduced. This will allow the company’s planned growth to be reflected in a sustainable and structured manner.
Ecological aspects also play an important role in the project. Photovoltaic systems are planned for parts of the roofs. An electricity storage facility will be used to compensate for peaks in consumption. Bauer is also planning to incorporate heat pumps and geothermal energy to heat the facility.
