HORSCH Maschinen GmbH

The farm Sitzenhof in Schwandorf is the headquarters of HORSCH Maschinen GmbH. Michael Horsch tinkered here on his first machines already in 1981. HORSCH Maschinen GmbH was founded in 1984 and originated from a farm, the present headquarters of the HORSCH Maschinen GmbH. HORSCH is centrally administrated from its location in Sitzenhof. Product development and management, marketing, sales, purchasing, finance, central service, painting and final assembly of certain products and a distribution center are located here.

Thus, the proximity to the construction department is used extensively here.
