THE KEY POINTS IN BRIEF
• Kögel breaks ground for the expansion of the Cool Liteshell production in Burtenbach.
• More capacity, improved infrastructure and faster acceptance of trailers for repairs.
• Strengthens economy, creates jobs and underscores site loyalty in Bayrisch-Schwaben.

Fol­low­ing the suc­cess­ful open­ing of the pro­duc­tion facil­i­ty for the pan­els of the inno­v­a­tive cool­ing vehi­cle Kögel Cool Liteshell, Kögel is tak­ing the next step: togeth­er with the dis­trict admin­is­tra­tor of Günzburg dis­trict, Dr. Hans Reich­hart, and the first may­or of Burten­bach, Roland Kempfle, the ground­break­ing cer­e­mo­ny for the planned site expan­sion was held on Sep­tem­ber 9, 2025. The aim is to cre­ate addi­tion­al capac­i­ty for the future series pro­duc­tion of the Kögel Cool Liteshell

Consistent continuation of the growth strategy

By expand­ing, the com­pa­ny gains valu­able space not only for the pro­duced vehi­cles but also opti­mizes the infra­struc­ture at the same time. This makes access to the Kögel work­shop eas­i­er: repairable trail­ers from all man­u­fac­tur­ers or Kögel trail­ers in need of refur­bish­ment can be accept­ed and ser­viced even faster and more eas­i­ly.

This ground­break­ing marks a con­sis­tent con­tin­u­a­tion of Kögel’s growth strat­e­gy at the Burten­bach site and also sends a strong sig­nal for the Bavar­i­an-Swabi­an region. With the expan­sion, Kögel is invest­ing in the future, cre­at­ing new jobs, and strength­en­ing the inno­va­tion in the Günzburg dis­trict.

A clear commitment to the location

Coun­ty Admin­is­tra­tor Dr. Reich­hart wel­comes the expan­sion explic­it­ly: ‘With this ground­break­ing, a clear sign is being set for the region’s future via­bil­i­ty. It shows that we are shap­ing growth togeth­er with the econ­o­my, cre­at­ing jobs and secur­ing qual­i­ty of life.’

This invest­ment is a clear com­mit­ment by Kögel to the Burten­bach site and empha­sizes the company’s role as a reli­able part­ner for cus­tomers, employ­ees and the entire region, it was empha­sized.

Erwin Kartnaller has been a fixture in Swiss trade journalism covering commercial vehicles and mobility for over four decades. After 16 years working for daily newspapers and family magazines, he moved into trade media and wrote for virtually every commercial vehicle magazine published in Switzerland, with very few exceptions. For nine and a half years, he was editor-in-chief of the Swiss Commercial Vehicle Association ASTAG's magazine, where his precise language and clear stance had a lasting impact on industry communication. This was followed by positions in the automotive industry, including at Eurotax autoinformation and aboutFLEET. He also wrote specialist articles for Auto&Wirtschaft and Auto Bild Schweiz. With his platform www.ekacom.com (http://www.ekacom.com/), he continued to wield his “sharp pen” – an independent voice for clear words and pointed commentary. In his last professional role as editor-in-chief of Polyscope, he immersed himself in the world of electronics – a field that is increasingly shaping mobility. Today, after his active professional life, Erwin Kartnaller is once again devoting himself entirely to his passion on the mobility-360.ch platform: mobility in all its facets.
