Deggendorf, April 05, 2023 – On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the b-plus Group, President of IHK Niederbayern Thomas Leebmann, Managing Director Alexander Schreiner and Deputy Managing Director Klaus Jaschke visited the b-plus main site in Deggendorf to officially present the certificate of honor for services to the Lower Bavarian economy. The IHK delegation got to know the impressive measurement technology solutions on the MAX demo vehicle and was able to get an idea of the great engineering know-how of the internationally networked company.
Forever young remains the Deggendorf technology company b-plus. That is how it seems when you take a closer look at the occasion of the visit of the IHK Niederbayern. The b-plus group is already celebrating its 27th anniversary this year. Due to Covid restrictions in the past years and subsequently all the more full schedules, the long-planned meeting of the b-plus management and the IHK Niederbaern was postponed until last Wednesday.
The pioneering spirit also keeps b-plus young. "We are working on technological solutions that already today drive tomorrow's mobility," explained b-plus Managing Director Michael Sieg. With great engineering know-how and innovative solutions in automotive measurement technology, mobile automation and tools for validating new driver assistance systems, b-plus has been inspiring customers and partners alike for almost 27 years now.
With two locations in Deggendorf, an office in Regensburg and further offices in Lindau on Lake Constance and Cham (Oberpfalz), b-plus develops regional solutions for customers and partners in Germany and worldwide. These come from the automotive industry (manufacturers such as Daimler and suppliers such as Continental), the off-highway sector (including agriculture and construction) and industrial market segments.
Regionally, b-plus is involved with organizations such as Technik für Kinder e.V., is firmly anchored as a regional employer in the city of Deggendorf and is regularly represented with its team at events such as the HeimatTrails, Night Run&Beats and the Donaufest. "It is impossible to imagine our region without b-plus as a supporter and attractive employer" states IHK President Thomas Leebmann.
Since the foundation of b-plus in 1996 by Prof. Dr. Böttcher in Deggendorf, the former engineering office has developed into a group with four companies, has already been recognized with the Bavaria's Best 50 award in 2019 and has also been awarded with the Innovation Prize by the city of Deggendorf. In addition to the parent company b-plus GmbH, the group includes the subsidiaries b-plus automotive GmbH, b-plus technologies GmbH and b-plus mobile control GmbH. The headquarters of all companies is in Deggendorf and is therefore regionally attractive as an employer, especially for software and hardware developers. In this context, b-plus particularly appreciates its proximity to the Deggendorf Technical University. "Young engineers and computer scientists get a very good professional perspective after their training at b-plus" states IHK managing director Alexander Schreiner.
The proximity to the start-up center at the main location is also refreshing for b-plus. Since 2002, the ITC1 in Deggendorf has offered b-plus a flexible range of premises for the majority of the approx. 240 employees as well as the production at the main location. With the steady growth, the own company building in the Deggendorf core is the declared goal. ITC1 Managing Director Thomas Keller emphasizes: "We experience the growth of b-plus first hand and see how they turn their visions into reality". During the visit at ITC1, the IHK delegation received an insight into the current location and the work of b-plus and wished the Deggendorf company much success for your goals.
