Woodward L'Orange is expanding its operations in Glatten, focusing on sustainable growth and innovation. The company has invested significantly in infrastructure, including a new production hall completed in 15 months, aimed at increasing capacity and workforce.

Key areas for growth include Power-to-X (P2X) and backup power for data centers, as well as industries involving large engines such as ships, locomotives, and power plants. The 'My Factory 5.0' project emphasizes lean transformation and automation, supported by regional political assistance.

A notable sustainability initiative involves a partnership for local district heating, utilizing waste heat from production processes, allowing Woodward to decommission its oil heating system. This contract was established in 2023, with the transition to the heating network successful by early 2026, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions.
