The interior is currently in full swing, and completion is planned for the fourth quarter of 2023. The new branch opens its doors for around 20 new employees in early 2026.

preparation for the upswing

WEGO VTI is not only busy building in Chemnitz, but also plans strategic investments to prepare for a forecast industry upswing from 2025.

challenges of the construction industry

The construction industry has experienced many changes in the past decades. For example, the bauindustrie.de reports of a continued upswing between 2006 and 2021, which, however, was stopped in 2022 through the war of aggression on Ukraine and the resulting economic difficulties. The industry has a significant impact on costs, prices and interest rates, although there is still a clear need for construction for apartments and ailing infrastructure.

WEGO VTI seems to be well positioned with his focus on digital services and sustainable solutions in order to meet these challenges. The upcoming investments and the opening of the new branch in Chemnitz could prove to be strategically valuable if the market conditions are stabilized again.
