Penning Sanitär, a company with over 115 years of experience in sanitary wholesale, laid the foundation for further growth this year and established a new location in Leipzig. Following branches in Hamburg, Berlin and Frankfurt am Main, Penning Sanitär successfully moved into its new business premises in Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße in September 2023. Invest Region Leipzig GmbH (IRL) was able to provide significant support for this important step in the company's development.
"Leipzig is a European metropolitan region that can boast a great success story with fantastic development in recent decades and will continue to do so in the long term. There are already strong local companies and extraordinarily good universities. The quality of life in the Leipzig region is high, coupled with affordable and available housing, which is definitely attractive for workers of all kinds."
"We have always underestimated the region in terms of how to grow here. It is now much more than what we had originally planned ... I didn't think we would grow like this so quickly. But I am happy that we have found so many good people. Hardly any city in Germany is more beautiful and has so much quality of life and further potential."
"Invest Region Leipzig's professional demeanour reinforced our decision. The service is free of charge, the working method is very structured and you immediately realise that Invest Region Leipzig is not doing this for the first time. Everything has a solid foundation."
"A big compliment goes to the commitment of Invest Region Leipzig and the centrality it offers. We were supported in our search for premises, networking with local networks and in our search for specialists. The city gave us a warm welcome and all Natuvions who use the office in Schlossgasse quickly feel very much at home."
„Unser Berater von der Invest Region Leipzig hat sehr gut verstanden, was wir für eine Immobilie suchen und passgenau zugearbeitet. Er hat mir dann auch den Tipp für die Beantragung von Fördermitteln gegeben. Außerdem haben wir den Fachkräfteservice genutzt. Das lief sehr gut. Ohne die Unterstützung der Invest Region Leipzig wäre es gerade bei der Bürosuche ein Stück weit schwieriger geworden.“
"A high potential of skilled labour, especially from the universities and colleges in the Saxon region, was an advantage for us. There is also a good investment climate for SMEs, thanks to the support of the SAB, which helped us a lot ... The discussions and advice provided by Invest Region Leipzig GmbH also helped us."
"We are delighted to have taken this step and moved to Leipzig to be able to further develop Thinkport ... Invest Region Leipzig made it extremely easy for us to get started in Leipzig. In particular, the personal support and the information provided about the location helped us to get an overview. I can really recommend contacting the IRL if you are considering expanding to Leipzig."
"Markranstädt was chosen because of its favourable location. The links to the A9 and A14 motorways and the proximity of a major supplier and a major customer of Morssinkhof-Rymoplast are major plus points. On the other hand, the Dutch company was very impressed by the regional business development programme. The business development agency Invest Region Leipzig GmbH, the city of Markranstädt and the district of Leipzig, including the district administrator's economic development department, worked hand in hand and opened doors."
