Relocation and time to grow

Even a move within Düsseldorf is not enough to stem growth. The company changes sides of the Rhine and builds in Neuss in the new Im Taubental industrial park. The move into the finished building takes place in 1989, during which time international contacts are established early on and cooperations lead to subsidiaries in Europe and the USA.
