Evolution of the Leipzig Plant
The decision to manufacture the Macan in Leipzig in 2011 transformed the site from a basic assembly plant into a full-fledged production facility. Between 2011 and 2013, Porsche invested heavily in infrastructure, adding a body shop and paint shop, and creating 1,500 new jobs.
Today, the plant is a beacon of flexibility, producing combustion, hybrid, and fully electric vehicles on a single line. Awards and honors include the Lean and Green Management Award in 2021 and the Factory of the Year award in 2023.
