Zizala expanding its location in Weiselburg

Zizala Lighting has its order book full to the brim and is planning its next expansion in Wieselburg to add between 50 and 100 additional jobs.

Zizala’s CEO Hubert Schuleitner only just opened an eleven Million production site in Krusovce, Slovakia, in June 2007 and an extension of its innovation centre to its main facility in Wieselburg in November.

Now a new production hall and a warehouse are to be added. Zizala made 180Mio Euro revenue with BMW, Audi, Porsche and Mercedes.

Schuleitner is expecting growth to run at eleven percent to over 200 Mio Euro mainly due to the new contracts with Volvo for the V70, S80 and XC 70.

Zizala is owned by the Ulrich Mommert and now employs 1840 people, 160 in R&D alone.
