The signal for the start of construction on Pöttinger's new SparePartsWORLD was given on 04 July 2016. In Taufkirchen an der Trattnach - very close to the company's Grieskirchen headquarters in Austria - a modern 7,000 sqm logistics centre is being built on approximately 3 hectares of ground to warehouse around 50,000 spares and wear parts. The new logistics centre is part of the agricultural machinery manufacturer's major plant expansion project. The new SparePartsWORLD is due for completion early 2017.

Pöttinger has invested massively in its plants in recent years to meet the requirements of an international market and increasing expectations in the agricultural technology sector. The Pöttinger SparePartsWORLD project rounds off this phase of expansion.
