WTO invested 40 million Euro at the Ohlsbach location for the most modern "Smart Factory" in the region and an office building with a view of the castle. In the 14,000 m² (150,000ft²) expansion, approximately 9,000 m² (100,000ft²) are allocated to the "Smart Factory" with the latest Industry 4.0 production technology, and 5,000 m² (50,000 ft²) are dedicated to office space with a view to the castle.
WTO has been using renewable energy for heating and cooling since 2011 at its Headquarters in Ohlsbach/Germany. The “Smart Factory”, completed in 2022, is above all a “Green Factory”. It sets milestones in state-of-the-art production technology and climate protection. Heat recovery and groundwater cooling will save over 8.3 GWh (giga-watt hours) of energy per year, which corresponds to a carbon dioxide reduction of 4,527 tons.
As a pioneer, WTO is installing the largest industrial solar energy system in the region for its own use in 2024 with a total of 6,274 photovoltaic modules with 2.55 MWp (megawatt peak). New solar cells will be installed on the roofs of the existing buildings and over all parking lots. Car and e-bike charging stations will be set up for our employees.
The new office building provides a modern and pleasant working environment for WTO employees. The architect group Grossmann has designed a unique building for this purpose, which perfectly integrates modern architecture into the dreamlike landscape. All offices are flooded with light and have a "castle view". This “castle view” extends to the stylish company restaurant ("WTO Bistro") with freshly prepared meals and a large fitness room in order to promote employee well-being.
