JOYNEXT: JOYNEXT expands production capacities in Europe and strengthens delivery capability for OEMs

The company is thus responding to the automotive industry’s increasing demands for delivery capability, shorter development cycles and regional added value. With the expansion, JOYNEXT is almost doubling its production space on site to around 26,000 square meters. The new facility covers a total of 13,300 square meters and strengthens the site’s role as a central production and logistics center for the European market.

Capacity expansion for series production and growth

In Oborniki Śląskie, JOYNEXT produces navigation, infotainment and telematics systems as well as control units for international car manufacturers. The additional capacity enables the production of several product lines for global use. This also includes series projects for a leading southern German premium OEM. This underlines the increasing relocation of sophisticated electronics production to European supply chains. More than seven million units are planned over the course of the project. The expansion is taking place against the backdrop of the increasing complexity of automotive electronics and growing demands for stable supply chains. Manufacturers expect shorter development cycles and reliable series production, even under volatile conditions.

Proximity to the OEM and stable supply chains as a competitive advantage

With the expansion, JOYNEXT is specifically strengthening its presence in Europe and bringing production and development closer to the OEMs. Shorter distances and closer coordination enable faster industrialization and greater planning reliability. “For our customers in Europe, it is becoming increasingly important how quickly new systems can be transferred to series production and how stable the supply chains are. With the expansion in Poland, we are increasing precisely this capability,” says Stavros Mitrakis, Co-CEO of JOYNEXT.

Scalable production for volatile demand

The new production facility has a modular design and can be flexibly adapted to different quantities and product requirements. This enables rapid scaling while maintaining consistently high quality. “Our production structure allows us to adjust capacities at short notice and bring new projects into series production quickly. This gives our customers the flexibility they need in an increasingly dynamic market,” says Jefferson Fahner, COO of JOYNEXT. JOYNEXT bundles central production steps for automotive electronics at the site, from PCB assembly to final assembly and testing. The integrated processes support efficient and scalable series production.

Europe as a key market for industrial implementation

For JOYNEXT, Europe is a strategic core market that determines how quickly innovations are transferred to industrial applications. “For us, Europe is the benchmark for industrial implementation speed and quality requirements. With the expansion in Oborniki Śląskie, we are strengthening our position in this environment and further expanding our proximity to customers,” says Adam Xi, CEO of JOYNEXT.

Sustainability and working environment as a competitive factor

Production in the new hall is based entirely on renewable energy from water, wind and solar sources. This means that the site also meets the increasing requirements of car manufacturers with regard to the carbon footprint of their supply chains. At the same time, JOYNEXT is investing in modern working conditions. New office space and social areas create a contemporary environment for employees. “An efficient location not only needs modern technology, but also an environment in which people enjoy working and take responsibility,” says Dr. Holger Buchner, CFO of JOYNEXT GmbH.
