Industrial Automation in Cologne

Cologne combines a major automotive presence with chemical and food manufacturing, making it an important centre for industrial automation. The Ford Cologne plant produces vehicles and is transitioning to EV production, while the Chempark Leverkusen next door hosts Bayer and Lanxess operations. The city's central location in the Rhine-Ruhr megalopolis provides access to one of Europe's densest industrial clusters. EDWartens delivers CPD accredited PLC training online from our UK centre, ideal for Cologne-based engineers.
