Stockmeier Urethanes: Expansion of Lemgo-Lieme site in Germany

Stockmeier Urethanes is investing in a new 1,400 m² administration and development building in the Lemgo district of Lieme, Germany. The partner for the structural implementation is the Bielefeld construction and real estate company Goldbeck. On 31 March 2021, the client and general contractor celebrated the symbolic ground-breaking ceremony in the industrial area “Im Hengstfeld” – due to the current Covid-19 pandemic – in a small circle of people.

As a member of the Stockmeier Group, Stockmeier Urethanes has been developing and producing polyurethane systems for industrial as well as sports and leisure applications since 1991. In order to accommodate the growth of the company, a move from Bielefeld to Lemgo already took place in 2010. To match the company's 30^th anniversary, Stockmeier Urethanes is now celebrating another milestone in the company's history.

"We have outgrown our current space – that's a problem you like to have in this day and age," said operations manager Timo Laucks an added: "When completed, the new building will house the administration and research and development departments. In the new laboratory space, we want to advance our research and development in the areas of future-oriented innovations and product developments for e-mobility, among other things. As a regional employer, the topic of sustainability on the one hand and responsibility for our environment on the other play an important role. The trend towards alternative drives has increased significantly – also among our employees. That's why we decided to provide charging stations for e-bikes as well as for electric and hybrid cars."

According to the company, the administration and development building is only the starting point for extensive investments at the Lemgo site. In a second construction phase, a new warehouse and dispatch centre will be built at "Im Hengstfeld 8".

"We are pleased to have Goldbeck at our side, an experienced general contractor with whom we share our East Westphalian home and family business values. The company has translated our special requirements into a building concept that makes optimal use of the property capacities," said Laucks. The move-in is planned for December 2021.
