On 2 April 2025, BBG Bodenbearbeitungsgeräte Leipzig GmbH & Co. KG, a subsidiary of the AMAZONE Group, celebrated the topping-out ceremony for two new production buildings in Rippachtalstraße. The modern buildings, each with an area of around 4,000 square metres, will be directly connected to the existing Hall 14 and will provide additional capacity for the production of soil tillage implements, crop protection sprayers and hoes. The buildings, which are being constructed by Goldbeck GmbH as the general contractor, are divided into two aisles, each 25 metres wide, and reach a total height of 10 metres.

Spacious outdoor storage areas totalling around 15,000 square metres enable efficient logistics. Completion is scheduled for November 2025. In addition to new assembly areas, intralogistics and dispatch areas will also be integrated. A central office suite between the buildings provides space for at least ten office workplaces. The expansion of the site will create numerous new jobs and sends a clear signal for growth and employment in Leipzig. Dr Justus Dreyer, Chairman of the Board of the AMAZONE Group, emphasised the significance of the expansion for the group and for agriculture. Mario Schnieber, Goldbeck branch manager, praised the rapid and efficient construction of the buildings. With its new production buildings, BBG Leipzig is focusing on state-of-the-art manufacturing conditions and attractive prospects for qualified employees.
