Medical technology made in Thuringia – Swiss company expands in Stadtroda

"LEG has intensively supported Mathys in recent years in site search and evaluation as well as in funding advice," explains LEG Managing Director Andreas Krey. "We are pleased about the expansion at the Stadtroda site; this investment shows that Thuringia is an attractive location for companies with growth potential." In its discussions, LEG was able to cite numerous advantages of the site in East Thuringia. "The industrial park is conveniently located at the intersection of the A 4 and A 9 motorways – with correspondingly fast connections to Berlin and Munich, Frankfurt and Dresden," says Dr. Arnulf Wulff, LEG authorized officer and department head. "In addition, Mathys benefits from the competencies in ceramic manufacturing and precision machining that are abundant in the Jena, Hermsdorf, and Gera region." The Swiss parent company Mathys AG Bettlach employs around 540 people worldwide and generated sales of around CHF 125 million in 2020. Since mid-2021, Mathys AG has been part of the listed US company Enovis_TM. Production in Thuringia focuses on shoulder, hip, and knee prostheses. At the new 4.5-hectare site in Stadtroda, a new hall for metal production is being built on 5,000 m², and a building for ceramic production on 2,900 m², complemented by a modern office building.
