The management from Ravensburg was welcomed by Lord Mayor Marc Speicher, Mayor Carsten Quirin, and Deputy Gerald Purucker. In a detailed introductory meeting, the participants exchanged views on future cooperation and the company's relocation plans.
Vetter Pharma plans to establish a new site on the Ford premises at Röderberg in the coming years. With this project, the company will not only contribute to the economic development of the region but also create some new jobs.
The meeting provided an opportunity to introduce each other, discuss goals, and lay the groundwork for a successful partnership. "We are pleased to welcome Vetter Pharma, a strong family-owned company in our city that stands for innovation and sustainable development," said Mayor Marc Speicher. Hard economic facts as well as personal exchange were crucial for the successful settlement and further development. "That is why it was a great pleasure to have this discussion over a shared currywurst. The settlement of Vetter is an opportunity for Saarlouis and the entire economic development of Saarland. It can be the nucleus of a stronger diversification of the Saar economy and the starting point of a cluster in the pharmaceutical sector," said Marc Speicher.
The establishment of Vetter Pharma on the previously solely Ford site in Roden is an important step for Saarlouis as well as a significant signal for the economic future, especially following the announcement of the partial closure of the Ford plants, which will leave a large gap.
