SPMT major TII Group makes largest ever investment at Pfedelbach site

The TII Group is investing a high double-digit million euro amount in the comprehensive development of its Pfedelbach, Germany site. At the same time, the investment reflects the long-term commitment of the Otto Rettenmaier shareholder family from Heilbronn to the future of the TII Group and to Germany as a business location.

One key element of the largest investment in the company’s history is the completion of the new headquarters of the TII Group with its brands TII SCHEUERLE and TII KAMAG. In addition, existing production halls will be gradually dismantled and replaced with new modern facilities. Through these measures, the Group says it is creating the conditions for further growth and strengthening its technological and industrial foundation.

TII SCHEUERLE is well known in mining for its Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) solutions, used in mining to move oversized components, including mining machinery and plant equipment weighing up to thousands of tonnes such as semi-mobile crushing stations and large excavators.

As a company owned by the entrepreneurial family Otto Rettenmaier, the globally active TII Group pursues a long-term corporate strategy through its production sites in Pfedelbach and Ulm, Germany and Bawal, India. In Pfedelbach, the new headquarters it says creates modern conditions for collaboration, innovation and customer proximity. At the same time, the new production halls will provide the basis for future-oriented manufacturing at the company’s site region.

The new headquarters creates space for even closer collaboration, faster decision-making processes and the sharing of knowledge and experience across departments. Modern workspaces, meeting rooms and informal networking areas support both joint project work and the exchange of expertise.

At the same time, newly designed customer and presentation areas offer new opportunities for dialogue with customers and partners. Customer requirements, technical knowledge and industry expertise can be brought together at an early stage, enabling TII Group teams to jointly develop suitable and cost-effective solutions.

“Our customers move loads where there is no room for compromise. They expect safe, precise and cost-effective solutions, often for challenges that have never been solved before. In our new headquarters, we are bringing technical expertise, practical application experience and customer proximity even closer together. This enables us to translate customer requirements into intelligent vehicle solutions more quickly,” explains Dr Gerald Karch, Chairman of the TII Group board.

The completed headquarters is just one of the components of the comprehensive development of the successful Pfedelbach site. The TII Group will gradually modernise the entire production operation in Pfedelbach. Existing production halls will be dismantled and replaced with modern facilities designed to support a powerful, efficient and sustainable site and manufacturing strategy.

The new halls will make it possible to redesign manufacturing, assembly and logistics processes from the ground up. This includes optimised material flows, suitable assembly and manoeuvring areas, and an infrastructure that remains flexible enough to accommodate future products, machinery and manufacturing methods.

“The TII Group has doubled its revenue over the past few years. Through the largest investment in our company’s history, we are now creating the conditions needed to continue this successful journey. The new headquarters and the renewal of our production facilities strengthen our collaboration, technological expertise and industrial capabilities. This will provide an additional foundation for efficient growth in Pfedelbach,” says Filippo Baldassari, Managing Director of the TII Group.

For the shareholder family, it holds special significance that the TII Group is announcing the largest investment in its history in the year marking the 100th birthday of its founder, Otto Rettenmaier. The investment continues his entrepreneurial vision while laying the foundation for the next chapter of the TII Group.

“Pfedelbach is closely connected to the history and development of our company. By making the largest investment in our company’s history, we as shareholders are embracing our entrepreneurial responsibility and creating the conditions for a successful future for the TII Group. We are investing in modern working conditions, high-performance manufacturing and, above all, in the people whose knowledge, experience and passion define TII,” explains Susanne Rettenmaier, Managing Director of the Rettenmaier Familienholding GmbH and daughter of TII Group founder Otto Rettenmaier.
