Siemens Healthineers plans to invest about €70 million to expand its manufacturing site in Kemnath, Germany, with a new production and assembly facility for medical technology components. The company held a groundbreaking ceremony for the project on July 15, with Bavarian Minister of Health Judith Gerlach among the attendees.
The expansion centers on a 4,500-square-meter building that is expected to begin operations by mid-2027. According to the company, the project is intended to increase manufacturing capacity, support continued growth at the site, and expand automation for machining large mechanical components used in medical technology.
The new building will include about 3,400 square meters of production space dedicated to radiotherapy components, roughly 300 square meters for logistics and connections to existing operations. Siemens Healthineers also plans to modernize about 700 square meters within the current facility. The adjacent layout is designed to shorten logistics routes and improve coordination between production functions.

A key element of the expansion is a highly automated Mechanic Center for manufacturing large mechanical components.
“Siemens Healthineers is clearly committed to Germany as a business location and to the Kemnath site,” Johannes Waldhör, head of the site and commercial head of the Mechatronic Products TEC Center at Siemens Healthineers, said in a statement. “We are continuing to expand the Kemnath site and increase productivity, and in doing so, secure many jobs in the region.”
The project also incorporates sustainability measures. Siemens Healthineers said the facility is being designed for CO₂-neutral operation through an all-electric energy supply, LED lighting, integration with the site's existing heat supply, planned photovoltaic installations and a retention roof intended to capture and store rainwater. The company said the construction will also emphasize energy efficiency, resource conservation and compliance with current environmental standards.
The Kemnath site, located in Bavaria's Upper Palatinate region, manufactures components used in the company's medical imaging and radiotherapy portfolio.
