The German houseboat manufacturer STERN Hausboot wanted to establish a production facility aimed at the Scandinavian market.
BusinessLF prepared a development plan with local options for locations and production halls. STERN Hausboot’s management was invited on an inspection trip, where dialog was established and facilitated with relevant authorities and private players. Business Lolland-Falster also matched the company with local and national funding sources.
STERN Hausboot established their Danish subsidiary in Bandholm with plans to start production. The owners decided to scale up production capacity. In this connection, STERN Hausboot searched a number of locations in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. They succeeded in keeping the company in Lolland-Falster, buying up a production facility in Orehoved with the expectation of creating 70-100 local jobs.
