Jena/Ilmenau, October 19, 2026 – Analytik Jena GmbH+Co. KG has officially opened new facilities at its existing sites in Jena and Ilmenau. The inauguration ceremonies, attended by representatives of parent company Endress+Hauser, took place on October 15 in Jena and October 16 in Ilmenau. The Endress+Hauser Group invested approximately €96 million in modern office, laboratory, and production space, underscoring its long-term commitment to Thuringia and the continued development of Analytik Jena. The new facilities will enable more efficient processes, closer collaboration, and continued growth.

Commitment to Thuringia

With the two new facilities, Analytik Jena is expanding capacity at its existing sites in Jena and Ilmenau. The new spaces bring work areas together, shorten travel between departments, and create additional room for the company’s future development. Together, the buildings provide approximately 29,000 square meters of gross floor area. Parent company Endress+Hauser invested approximately €96 million in the projects.

“We want to support our customers from the laboratory through production. We are consistently investing in this strategy,” says Dr. Peter Selders, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group. Steven Endress, President of the Group’s Supervisory Board, adds: “As a family-owned company, we think and act for the long term. These new facilities strengthen two important development and production sites.”

Modernized headquarters in Jena

A new building with approximately 19,000 square meters of space was constructed at the company’s headquarters in Jena. It replaces a 1960s-era building on the company campus and provides an optimized work environment with modern production, warehouse, development, laboratory, and office space. The investment totaled approximately €64 million. District heating, heat recovery, and solar power contribute to the building’s sustainable energy supply.

Shorter distances in Ilmenau

At its production site in Ilmenau, Analytik Jena constructed a building complex with approximately 10,000 square meters of space for its more than 80 employees. The Endress+Hauser Group invested approximately €32 million in the site. The new facility brings development, laboratories, production, and warehousing together under one roof. Two operating units previously located at separate sites in Ilmenau will now work at the same location. The building receives part of its energy from a photovoltaic system and a connection to a local biogas power plant.

Analytik Jena’s new building complex in Ilmenau covers approximately 10,000 square meters and accommodates more than 80 employees.
