Grimme has purchased the premises of Advanced E-Bike factory in Rieste, Germany, which closed at the end of 2024. The Grimme Group will use this new location for global spare parts supply, as capacity at the main plant in Damme is no longer sufficient.
The 20,000 square meter site includes a modern 6,690 square meter hall built in 2022 and an approximately 1,700 square meter office wing with social rooms. Immediate proximity to the Grimme plant in Niedersachsenpark and the new motorway 1 feeder road, are major location advantages.
Grimme will begin construction of an assembly plant for harvesters, a shipping and used machine center and a logistics hall in Niedersachsenpark in the coming months. The resulting logistical challenges can be optimally cushioned by the new spare parts center and the capacities freed up at the main plant in Damme.
“We built a logistics center in Damme in 2008 and have now reached capacity limits due to strong growth. This investment comes at the right time and we will be able to start operating the new spare parts center in time for the start of the harvest season with minimal conversion work”, explain Christoph and Philipp Grimme.
The new Grimme spare parts centre is located directly at the new motorway exit and only one kilometer from the Grimme factory.
