Zittauer plant manufacturer doubles size: New hall for the future!

A lot is happening in Zittau: EAZ GmbH electrical and automation systems lays the foundation for an exciting future. A new warehouse and production hall is currently being built at the location at Hörnitzer Straße 11. This hall, with generous dimensions of 36 by 15 meters, is part of a comprehensive growth course that the company has taken since its foundation in 1997. The managing director, Silvio Kalich, who has been at the top since 2024, reports on a rapidly increasing order volume, which is primarily developed by the area of renewable energies.

The construction work is progressing quickly: the foundations are already being prepared and the steel construction will soon follow. The completion of the building envelope is planned for September 2023, the interior design is to be completed by the end of this year. For a ceremonial inauguration, those responsible have already chosen an appointment for 2026.

regional cooperation and sustainable technologies

The fact that the fact that the new hall is used for regional companies from Zittau, Olbersdorf, Oderwitz and Hainewalde is particularly gratifying. The total construction costs amount to around 1.2 million euros, of which 25% are requested as funding. In terms of sustainable technologies, EAZ GmbH is also focusing on future -oriented solutions. A heat pump for water and heating as well as a photovoltaic system for self -consumption are planned. In addition, a cistern for rainwater management is being built to minimize environmental pollution.

Despite growth, however, the company is still confronted with challenges: the need for young talent is omnipresent. The recruitment of trained electronics technicians is difficult, despite the fact that the employee base has grown from five to 24 employees since 1998. In order to counteract the shortage of skilled workers, there is already an investment in training offers. The next trainee will begin in autumn 2023. In addition, EAZ has been cooperating with a university as part of a KIA studies since 2024, with the first participant being welcomed this year.

professions with a future in the field of renewable energies

The importance of renewable energies is growing steadily, and with it the number of professional opportunities in this sector. Engineers who specialize in renewable energies will find promising perspectives for plant builders and suppliers for solar energy, water and wind power as well as biogas. You are responsible for the development, construction, operation and maintenance of systems. The corresponding training paths are also varied and well structured. Starting from engineering training to specialized further training such as specialist agricultural hosts for renewable energies that are responsible for biomass and biogas plants-the possibilities are numerous, as shown jettps://www.einstieg.com/ausbildung/berufe- after-themen/berufe-rund-reund-erneuer-energien.html)

A look at engineering offices such as [IB-Elkoplan shows that electrical engineering is also a central component of the energy transition. These offices offer services from advice to planning to construction supervision and are often also active as a subcontractor for large construction projects. Due to the close connection to innovative companies such as EAZ GmbH, it becomes clear how important regional cooperation is in this fast -moving industry.

Overall, it becomes clear that Zittau and its companies are well equipped for future challenges in the field of renewable energies. The local commitment, coupled with innovative technologies and an active training policy, not only creates jobs, but also perspectives for the entire region.
