Gigaset Technologies GmbH, headquartered in Bocholt, Germany, has secured a major international manufacturing contract: Canadian telecommunications specialist Mitel will relocate the production of its IP phones to Germany. This marks another milestone for Gigaset’s Bocholt facility as a key site for high-quality communication products “Made in Germany.”
A Strong Partnership, A Strong Signal
With this new manufacturing agreement, Gigaset underscores its position as a leading European production hub for communication solutions. Following its acquisition by the VTech Group in 2024, the company is once again on solid organizational and financial footing and is now expanding its production capacities in the area of CMS manufacturing.
“The decision by Mitel to move its phone production to our Bocholt plant is a clear sign of confidence in our quality, precision, and reliability,” said Ralf Lueb, Senior Vice President Global Sales & Marketing at Gigaset. “With our highly automated manufacturing processes and our dedicated team in Bocholt, we can once again demonstrate what German engineering stands for.”
“Made in Bocholt”: Quality and Reliability as Success Factors
Including the ODM devices Gigaset already manufactures for Mitel, this new cooperation represents a total annual production volume of more than one million units. The German production site provides European customers in particular with shorter delivery times, high supply reliability, and consistently superior quality standards.
“By choosing Bocholt as its manufacturing location, Mitel is once again highlighting the strength and competitiveness of our site. Our employees deliver outstanding work here every day – with precision, efficiency, and great commitment. The fact that an international partner like Mitel has chosen Gigaset is a clear recognition of our quality and production expertise,” said Gunther Schlingemann, Managing Director Operations at Gigaset.
In addition to manufacturing its own products, Gigaset is further strengthening its role as a reliable production partner for international technology brands. Decades of experience, state-of-the-art production technology, and sustainable processes make the Bocholt facility a cornerstone of the European communications industry.
Gigaset: Back on Course
After a challenging period and its successful integration into the VTech Group, Gigaset is once again looking to the future with confidence. The new major contract is not only of economic importance but also sends a strong signal to the region and to employees alike: Bocholt remains the production site and the heart of the company.
“We are proud that international companies like Mitel place their trust in us,” added Ralf Lueb, Senior Vice President Global Sales & Marketing. “It shows that quality, reliability, and sustainability – values that have defined Gigaset for decades – continue to be in demand worldwide.”
