Leipzig. Porsche Leipzig GmbH is looking forward to a new growth spurt. This August, the site will employ more than 4,000 people for the first time. The factory continues its unique success story ever since the foundation stone was laid in February 2000. The background to this story is the complete production of the new generation of the Panamera sports saloon. It celebrated its world premiere in Berlin two days ago.

Now more than ever, the new Panamera is a product of Saxony. The latest generation of the sporty saloon will be manufactured in its entirety at the Leipzig factory. Porsche has invested €500 million to make this possible, impressively demonstrating our commitment to Leipzig. Over the past two years, a completely new body shop has been created for production of the Panamera.

High-volume production with the same degree of customisation as individual handcrafting methods: Porsche Leipzig sets standards in production. Thanks to the Porsche production and logistics system, all the Cayenne, Panamera and Macan models can run together on one assembly line.

Production of the new generation of the Panamera will create 600 additional jobs in Leipzig. By August 2016, the workforce will exceed 4,000 employees for the first time. Currently 3,865 people are employed at Porsche Leipzig. A high affinity to the Porsche brand, the enthusiasm to build extraordinary vehicles, a high level of commitment and enormous technical expertise unites all employees.

The Porsche factory in Leipzig is one of the most sustainable automobile factories in the world. Protecting the environment and the efficient use of natural resources is a corporate objective which is taken very seriously and is reflected in all processes and procedures.

Porsche Leipzig is not only a business, but an automotive experience with a racing circuit and off-road course. More than 47,000 people visited the Customer Centre last year – to collect a vehicle, as a participant in adventure programmes, or as part of events. The 5,200 sq. m Customer Centre is visible from far away.

Porsche Leipzig is a part of society. For this reason, the company commits to a wide range of social, sporting and cultural activities that emphasise not only the roots of the site, but also the city itself and the wider state of Saxony. In particular, Porsche sees itself committed to the citizens of Leipzig. An overview of the various activities, from youth support to open-air concerts:
