Lürssen has officially opened the new Hall 3 in Schacht-Audorf. At the opening ceremony, the family that owns the company also announced a decision with far-reaching implications: over the next two years, the company will invest around 50 million euros in its Rendsburg operations. This is expected to create 130 new jobs.
In addition to Hall 3, which has now opened, the programme includes the roofing of a dock, the refurbishment of one of the floating docks, a new canteen for the workforce, and the expansion of the entire infrastructure at the Rendsburg-North site in Schacht-Audorf and the Rendsburg-South site. Peter Lürßen announced this in his speech to guests and staff. “Rendsburg is a key part of our shipyard group – and is set to remain so for decades to come. Our order books are full until 2033. This investment lays the foundations for yachts to continue to be built here even after that,” said Peter Lürßen.
130 new jobs at Lürssen
District Administrator Ingo Sander and the Mayor of Rendsburg, Janet Sönnichsen, attended the opening ceremony at the shipyard site. They were accompanied by representatives from the regional business community and the IG Metall trade union. In his speech, District Administrator Sander said: “130 new industrial jobs are a strong sign of confidence for our region. Statistically, every industrial job secures around two and a half further jobs with suppliers and service providers. The investment made here will have an impact far beyond the shipyard site.”
The new Hall 3 is one of the most modern shipbuilding halls in the region and is tailored to the specific requirements of new yacht construction. This provides staff with bright, safe workplaces equipped with state-of-the-art technology. These investments reflect the ethos that Lürssen embodies as an employer: challenging work of the highest standard, and a strong sense of camaraderie across all trades. And staff who take pride in what they build.
