ENFIDHA, TUNSIA -- Zollner Elektronik AG has announced that it is opening an additional electronics manufacturing site on the east coast of Tunisia. The company plans to start production in Enfidha at the beginning of 2023 in a building it has leased while construction is underway on a new facility at the same location.

 With the new plant in Tunisia, Zollner said it will be able to expand the capacity and resources in the medium to long term for the production of PCBs and electronic modules in an industrial environment for the European market (EMEA).

Production will start at the temporarily leased 2,500m² of production space at the beginning of 2023 with around 100 employees. Almost simultaneously, preparatory activities will begin for the construction of the company's own manufacturing facility. Zollner said the new facility will include around 10,000m² of production space will be created in its first step, and the facility should be completed in 2024.

“Our investment in the Enfidha location is a strategic expansion to our Best-Cost-Country option for the European market. With our two-stage implementation, we are achieving a quick start to production and with that a short-term solution for growing together with our customers. The longterm investment made into a total building area of close to 25 acres provides room for future, necessary expansions in order to be able to offer competitive solutions for our customers, also in the long-term.” said Martin Eisenhart, Senior Vice President of the Electronics Business Division at Zollner Electronics AG.

Zollner said the location on the east coast of Tunisia represents an expansion of production capacity and has a good logistic connection to Europe.
