Climate-positive production centre inaugurated in Lahr

Julabo has marked a significant milestone with the official opening of its new production and logistics centre at the startkLahr Airport & Business Park in Lahr. This state-of-the-art facility embodies the company’s commitment to growth, innovation, and sustainability.

Certified climate-positive under DGNB standards, the new building was inaugurated in May with guests from business and politics, including local and regional officials. The facility’s advanced technical features and modern architecture impressed attendees.

“Lahr provides a future-proof base for Julabo’s ongoing growth, with a clear focus on sustainability,” said CEO Markus Juchheim. The new site adds crucial production capacity while freeing space at the Seelbach headquarters for service and product development, enhancing support for Julabo’s global customers.
Spanning roughly 30,000 m², the Lahr site offers room for future expansion and benefits from excellent transport links near the A5 motorway and the French border.

Local leaders welcomed Julabo’s investment as a boost for the regional economy. Markus Ibert, Lord Mayor of Lahr, described it as a strong signal of industrial confidence that will create quality jobs and diversify the local business landscape. Seelbach Mayor Michael Moser praised Julabo’s continued dedication to its roots and innovation.

Keienburg Architekten designed the building with a focus on cost-efficiency, functionality, and environmental responsibility. Architect Lioba Keienburg highlighted features such as recycled materials, renewable resources, and a photovoltaic energy system, ensuring the building’s climate-neutral operation and flexibility for future needs.

At the opening, Juchheim thanked the Julabo team for their exceptional efforts in planning, construction, and relocation - enabling the project’s on-time completion.
