With this strategy, the ebm?papst Group has been pursuing a strong independence of its locations in the USA, Asia and Europe since 2017. The aim here is to be able to serve local customers even more effectively, quickly and in a more tailored manner and to make itself independent of external influences through three independent supply chains."
