Manufacturing of Aerospace Components
In 2025, the technology and aerospace company OHB acquired the plant of electronics manufacturer TechniSat in Schöneck in the Vogtland region. This brought together two areas of strong expertise: Saxon know-how in electronics manufacturing and cutting-edge satellite technology.
For OHB, the acquisition of the facility was a step toward preparing for industrial satellite and component manufacturing. Due to growing demand for satellites for various civilian and military applications, capacity is needed for the mass production of suitable electronic components for space applications. OHB’s choice of a production site in Germany is a deliberate decision aimed at establishing sovereign, national supply chains for critical satellite components.
Saxony is considered a European hub for microelectronics and possesses outstanding expertise in research, development, and production in this field. These well-established capabilities provide the ideal foundation for entering the mass production of space components and for successful structural transformation in the region.
