As in Wolfsburg, the Emden plant produces complete seat sets on a just-in-sequence basis, supplying the customer’s assembly line to exact specification. Approximately 1,150 seat sets are produced on two state-of-the-art production lines in two shifts every day. Nearly all of the plant’s 500 employees work in a production capacity.

In July 2010, the product range at this location became even broader. Given a lead time of just 68 minutes, we can now deliver the new Passat’s instrument panels from Frisia Industrial Park to the assembly line, just-in-sequence. With the seats and instrument panel, as well as our other new product the centre console, we now build the majority of the vehicle interface that is experienced by the customer.

Systematic quality management: The Emden site is ISO/TS 16949 certified
