The Damme-based family business GRIMME has purchased the Advanced E-Bike factory in Rieste, which closed at the end of 2024. The 20,000 square metre site includes a modern 6,690 square metre hall built in 2022 and an approximately 1,700 square metre office wing with social rooms.
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 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 centre and a logistics hall in Niedersachsenpark in the coming months. The resulting logistical challenges can be optimally cushioned by the new spare parts centre and the capacities freed up at the main plant in Damme.
‘We built a logistics centre 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 centre in time for the start of the harvest season with minimal conversion work,’ explain Christoph Grimme and Philipp Grimme.
