PRESS RELEASE

Bentley Endovascular Group AB paves the way for the new Bentley Campus by tripling size of its German location
 

Hechingen (Germany) November 23, 2023 +++ The rapidly expanding medical technology Group Bentley via its subsidiary Bentley InnoMed GmbH purchased the entire site of the upholstered leisure furniture manufacturer Best Freizeitmöbel GmbH in Hechingen. The site is directly adjacent to Bentley’s existing company premises. Bentley CEO Sebastian Büchert and the Strobel family, owners of Best Freizeitmoebel GmbH, signed the corresponding agreement today.

With this purchase, the European market leader for stents is tripling its site, located in the industrial area between Lotzenäcker and State Highway 410, from 15,000 square meters to almost 45,000 square meters. The previous owner, Best, will gradually hand over the use of the site to Bentley until the middle of 2025. The parties to the agreement have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. Bentley had already acquired a piece of property from Best in 2021, upon which it built the 5-story Bentley parking garage.

Bentley CEO Sebastian Büchert is delighted to have this expansion opportunity located right next door. This is due to Bentley’s plan to vastly increase its stent production. The site expansion will also meet the Company’s urgent requirement for new capacity. All other areas in the Company – from logistics to research and development – are also in need of space, which will now be a thing of the past. The foundation has thereby been set for the growth strategy in the years ahead.

The old production buildings and warehouses on the Best site will therefore make way for the new Bentley Campus in the years to come. This will change the future face of Lotzenäcker business park in Hechingen, Germany as well as attract new employees. CEO Büchert plans to employ significantly more people by then to accommodate the Company’s dynamic growth.
