TII Group Announces Largest Investment in Its History at Pfedelbach
30-Second Takeaway
TII Group is investing an amount in the upper tens of millions of euros to redevelop its Pfedelbach site in Germany, combining a completed headquarters with the phased replacement of production halls. The programme is the largest investment in the company’s history and supports future growth across TII SCHEUERLE and TII KAMAG. The headquarters provides more than 200 workstations, while the manufacturing redevelopment will redesign assembly, material flows and internal logistics. The investment reinforces the Rettenmaier family’s commitment to German production alongside TII’s operations in Ulm and Bawal, India.
TII Group
TII Group has announced a comprehensive redevelopment of its Pfedelbach operation, committing a high double-digit million euro sum to headquarters and manufacturing improvements.
The programme combines new office facilities with a longer-term renewal of the production site. Existing manufacturing halls will be progressively dismantled and replaced with facilities designed around future capacity and production requirements.
The company describes the programme as the largest investment in its history, backed by the Otto Rettenmaier shareholder family.
New Headquarters Provides More Than 200 Workstations
The completed Pfedelbach headquarters provides more than 200 modern workstations.
The building introduces flexible and hybrid working arrangements alongside meeting spaces, collaboration areas and facilities for customer presentations.
It brings the headquarters functions of TII Group and its SCHEUERLE and KAMAG brands into an updated working environment.
Approximately 600 people work at Pfedelbach, while the group employs more than 1,000 people worldwide.
Production Halls to Be Replaced in Phases
The larger industrial programme will progressively replace existing production halls.
TII plans to redesign manufacturing, assembly and internal logistics from the ground up, improving the movement of materials through the site and providing dedicated assembly and manoeuvring areas.
The new infrastructure is intended to accommodate future products, machinery and production methods, creating additional scope for growth rather than simply replacing buildings.
Filippo Baldassari, managing director of TII Group, said:
“The TII Group has doubled its revenue over the past few years. Through the largest investment in our company’s history, we are now creating the conditions needed to continue this successful journey.”
Pfedelbach’s Role in Heavy Transport Engineering
Pfedelbach remains a key manufacturing and engineering location within TII’s international network. The site’s history is associated with technologies that helped shape modern heavy transport, including SCHEUERLE’s hydraulically supported pendulum axle and the self-propelled modular transporter.
These developments underpin equipment used to move large industrial modules, infrastructure components and other loads requiring specialised support and steering arrangements. The redevelopment preserves that manufacturing role while creating facilities for the next stage of product and production development.
SPMT Compatibility Supports Fleet Flexibility
Introduced in 1983, the SCHEUERLE SPMT combines modular vehicle units with electronic multidirectional steering. Operators can assemble transport combinations around the dimensions, weight and support requirements of individual loads.
TII says its installed base of SPMT axle lines remains compatible across different vehicle generations. That compatibility gives customers additional options when combining equipment from their own fleets or working with partners using compatible modules.
The Pfedelbach investment supports the manufacturing base behind this equipment and its continuing development.
Investment Across Germany and India
The programme forms part of TII’s wider strategy to combine international manufacturing with continued industrial investment in Germany.Alongside Pfedelbach, the group operates production facilities in Ulm, Germany, and Bawal, near New Delhi, India. Investment in Ulm focuses particularly on future technologies, including electromobility. The Bawal operation has also undergone significant expansion in recent years.
Together, the developments are intended to strengthen manufacturing capacity and support international demand for heavy transport equipment.
Rettenmaier Family Marks a Significant Year
The Pfedelbach programme is being announced in the year marking the 100th anniversary of Otto Rettenmaier’s birth. For the shareholder family, the investment represents a long-term commitment to the group’s industrial operations and its German manufacturing base. The headquarters has been completed, while production renewal will proceed in stages.
