in the Czech Republic and China ensure growth \u2013 highest order volume in the company&#8217;s history<\/p>\n<p>In early May, the ZKW Group will be adding a new development office in Olomouc\/Czech Republic and a sales and development office in Shanghai to its ten existing international locations. The new branch in Olomouc will support the global engineering network, while handling further development tasks to add to existing capacities in Austria. 50 new jobs will be created during the initial expansion. The company&#8217;s goal is to employ more than 100 specialists by 2023. The new sales and development office in Shanghai will be supporting the existing ZKW location in Dalian. These expansion steps underscore the ZKW Group&#8217;s successful trajectory. Despite the pandemic and the difficult economic environment, the Group succeeded in generating revenues of 1.03 billion euros in 2020. \u201cWe were able to maintain production at our locations through a major organizational effort and by showing outstanding flexibility. We have the excellent teamwork and commitment of all of our employees to thank for our success. Now, we will continue to grow through our global development footprint\u201d says Oliver Schubert, CEO of the ZKW Group.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1739301d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1739301d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Workforce on-site<\/strong><br \/>\nWith its new development office in Olomouc, ZKW is pursuing its strategy of taking advantage of the local supply of labor and automotive expertise on-site. Olomouc is home to the Czech Republic\u2019s second oldest university, and has its own light technology department as well. This ensures ZKW&#8217;s new employees will have a good technical background. In addition, the greater Olomouc region has a long tradition in developing and manufacturing automotive headlamps. \u201cThe region offers a highly qualified workforce, which we plan to take advantage of in our development of premium lighting systems. Currently, we are looking for experienced engineers from the automotive industry in the areas of light, design, electronics and software\u201d says Schubert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Closer to clients<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new sales and development office in the Chinese city of Shanghai will be supporting the existing ZKW location in Dalian. \u201cThis is a strategic decision to be closer to our clients, such as SGM and Volvo\u201d Schubert says. In addition to sales and development tasks, colleagues in the new, 200 square meter office will also be supporting the Group&#8217;s purchasing activities. Five employees will be hired initially in April of 2021. Later, the plan is to grow the workforce to a total of fifteen specialists by 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Successful fiscal year despite the coronavirus pandemic<\/strong><br \/>\nDespite the pandemic and difficult global economic situation, the ZKW Group remains well-positioned to face future challenges. The special coronavirus taskforce is also coordinating supply chain maintenance within the Group. In late 2020, the company received 150 million euros in financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB). ZKW will use the funds to expand its innovation activities, which are the key to the Group&#8217;s success. In addition, ZKW also plans to invest in sustainable manufacturing and green development \u2013 for instance by investing in energy-efficient systems in the Slovakian plant in Kru\u0161ovce. \u201cOur order books are certainly looking very strong for the next three years. ZKW expects to set a new revenue record in 2022. We are proud to have the highest order volume in the company&#8217;s history, and feel positively about the future. We are certain that we will be able to manage challenges such as digitization, competitive pressure and sustainability alongside our employees\u201d says Schubert, looking ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About ZKW<\/strong><br \/>\nThe ZKW Group is the specialist for innovative premium lighting systems and electronics.
