Porsche Leipzig celebrates 20th anniversary of production
On 20 August 2002, the first car – a Porsche Cayenne – rolled off the production line at the Leipzig factory. What started small 20 years ago would go on to be a genuine success story for Porsche.
Since then, the Saxony site has come to represent future-focused car manufacturing. On Saturday, as part of an event celebrating the anniversary, Porsche looked back on the milestones of the sports car manufacturer’s Leipzig factory and presented those who attended with a vision of the future. Guests included State Premier of Saxony Michael Kretschmer, Thuringia’s State Minister of Economy and Science Wolfgang Tiefensee, Executive Board Member for Production and Logistics at Porsche AG Albrecht Reimold, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche Leipzig GmbH Gerd Rupp, and Porsche Brand Ambassador Walter Röhrl.
