Description

Piller, a German power supply systems' company, announced the creation of about 150 new jobs at its Bilshausen and Osterode sites.

The expansion involves a new test centre in Bilshausen and additional machine investment in Osterode, with construction starting in May 2026. The expansion is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027. The project is driven by the need to increase production capacity and adopt more energy efficient technologies, thereby supporting the green transition. Piller aims to continue its growth, particularly as its Power Systems Division for AI data centres is experiencing strong demand and high sales.

Piller employs more than 1,000 people worldwide.
