Artificial intelligence: Playmobil factory to become a data center
The company had closed its only German production site in the summer. With its new division Playmobil digital, the company wants to reorient itself.
The Horst-Brandstätter-Group, parent company of Playmobil, is building a high-performance data center on the site of its former factory in Dietenhofen. The data center, called Rechen-Campus, will have an initial capacity of 100 megawatts and is expected to be expandable. The company will provide the infrastructure, while partners will develop and operate applications, with services ranging from simple space rental to complete computing power.
The project is led by a team with over 25 years of experience in data centers and IT. The site was previously home to Playmobil's only German factory, which was closed in June, resulting in 350 job losses.
