Technology and Competence Centre to be built in Tampere

Cargotec is investing in building an innovative Technology and Competence Centre in Tampere, Finland, during years 2011-2013. The foundation stone of the centre was laid on a ten-hectare industrial site close to Tampere University of Technology.

The centre forms part of Cargotec's global network of competence centres and it develops Industrial and Terminal business area's innovative solutions for the benefit of customers. The site will host Cargotec's most extensive test area, in order to facilitate the testing and simulation of various solutions, including automated equipment and fleets, navigation systems and remote steering and control. The research and product development laboratories of the new centre will also be utilised in the introduction of new components and technologies. According to plan, the new centre will be operational in December 2012.
