At the OEM’s facility in Vreden, around 2,000 employees produce refrigerated box body semi-trailers for temperature-controlled transport and dry freight, as well as produce Schmitz Cargobull S.CU transport cooling units.
This site has received multiple awards for its innovative ideas and production processes, along with its impressive products. It is currently receiving wide-scale investment to expand its capacities. The goal, according to Schmitz Cargobull, is to create a digital, automated factory with high quality standards and a diverse range of variants for maximum utilisation of capacity.
A new assembly hall with automated production systems is being built over an area of 4,500 square metres. As a result of the factory expansion, Schmitz Cargobull will in future be able to produce up to 80 refrigerated vehicles a day in a two-shift model.
The trailer builder is also investing in its ‘Cargobull Event Campus’, a venue for events and training located directly next to the company’s premises.
Around two kilometres from the box body semi-trailer production facilities, Schmitz Cargobull S.CU transport cooling units are produced at the Vreden-Gaxel site. Cargobull Cool GmbH & Co. KG is a subsidiary of Schmitz Cargobull AG and was first founded in 2012. Its team of around 100 employees develop, test and produce conventional and electric transport cooling units, which are used in Schmitz Cargobull refrigerated vehicles. More than 20 percent of Schmitz Cargobull’s S.KO.COOL refrigerated vehicles are delivered with the Schmitz Cargobull S.CU transport cooling unit.
