iwis is on the move!

13. Mar 2019 | iwis mobility systems

At the end of 2019, iwis motorsysteme will start production in a new plant in Eastern Europe. 

In the future, a selected range of timing chains and chain tensioners will be assembled at the Oradea site in Romania. Production volumes that are currently manufactured in the Landsberg plant will be relocated to the new site.

In turn, Landsberg will become one of our future assembly centre for electrical applications for the automotive sector. iwis smart connect GmbH is the division for intelligent, electrical mobility and will set up its own production and assembly capabilities in Landsberg. The first lines have already been taken into operation.

It is our shared responsibility to ensure the future of the company and to keep the changes affecting our workforce within appropriate boundaries.

iwis is the world leader in innovative, cost-effective timing drive systems based on precision chains. Virtually all car manufacturers throughout the world are supplied with a total of 60,000 systems each day from plants in Munich, Landsberg, Pinghu and Murray. In addition to the automotive industry, iwis acts as a market leader in supplying precision roller chains to the mechanical engineering and plant construction industries across the globe. The chains are used in the printing and paper industry, packaging industry and conveyor technology, as well as in general engineering and the agricultural machinery industry. iwis smart connect is a specialist for electrical connecting technology for automotive and non-automotive applications.
