The groundbreaking ceremony has taken place

Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau GmbH was founded in 2007 as part of the internationally operating Poppe + Potthoff Group in Nordhausen, Thuringia. The expert in testing technology and special machine construction employs around 50 people and, as a market leader, supports customers worldwide with state-of-the-art test benches. To accommodate the company’s continuous growth, the construction of a new company building has now begun. Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau is investing approximately 10 million euros in the new company headquarters in Nordhausen. The final move is scheduled to take place at the end of 2024.

Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau has extensive experience in testing and high-pressure technology as well as in special machine construction. Key areas include testing cooling circuit components in electric vehicles, test systems for the development of H2 components, and custom test benches tailored to customer specifications for use in various industries such as aerospace. As a specialist in high-pressure technology, the company supports the development and production of durable components with pressure cycling, burst, or functional test benches. In recent years, sustainable technologies have become a significant factor for Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau. Thus, the innovative test benches for components in e-mobility or parts for hydrogen applications are in demand worldwide.

The young, highly qualified team at Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau has continuously grown in recent years. This growth is set to continue in the future. The company plans to double its number of employees at the new location. “We want to contribute to emission-free mobility and industry with our test benches,” says Managing Director Philip Claussen. “The new company building and the growth of our company enable us to meet this commitment in the future as well.”
