Premium aircraft seating manufacturer ZIM Aircraft Seating has announced the expansion of its headquarters in Immenstaad, Germany.

Additional office space has already been introduced and a new model shop with a design department for the development of future products will be opened by April this year.

“The investment into our location expansion is a clear commitment to our employees and the region,” said ZIM’s CEO Sven Achilles. “We have a social responsibility that is independent of time, and which we also live up to by creating structures that will make us competitive in the future.”

ZIM said it has been able to secure a “large number” of new orders in the past few months and expects increasing demand for repair measures and maintenance work on aircraft seats on existing aircraft.

The new expansion will enable the company to “triple” its activities at the site and will have a “positive influence on efficiency, productivity and corporate identity”.
