In financial year 2015, Porsche produced a total of 234,497 vehicles,
15,5percent more than in the previous year. All vehicles of the 911 and
Boxster model series as well as the 918 Spyder super sports car rolled
offthe line at the main plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. A total of 43,239
sports cars were produced, of which 31,373 were 911s, 11,491 sports
cars from the
Boxster and Cayman model series and 375 units of the
918Spyder. Porsche

the Cayenne model series accounting for 63,897 units, the Macan model
series for 86,016 units and the Panamera model series for 15,055 vehicles.
10,487 units of the Cayman and, since June last year, 15,803 Cayennes

Changes to the Executive Board
At the end of financial year 2015, the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG
appointed Albrecht Reimold as the new member of the Executive Board for
Production and Logistics, succeeding Oliver Blume. Reimold took up the
new role on February 1, 2016. Blume has been Chairman of the Executive
Board of Porsche AG since October 2015 and
had been additionally responsible for Produc-
tion and Logistics until Reimold’s appointment.
Reimold transferred to Zuffenhausen from
Bratislava, where – for four years – he managed
the Volkswagen plant that also produces the
body shell of the Porsche Cayenne. Before
that,he was responsible for the Audi plant in
Neckarsulm.
High Level of Investment in the Main Plant
The negotiations between the Executive Board
and the general works council of Porsche AG
led to investments of over 1billion euro in the
expansion of the Zuffenhausen, Weissach and
Ludwigsburg locations to safeguard the con-
tinuing existence of these sites. The package
of measures will also boost the Company’s
productivity, flexibility and efficiency and rules
out redundancies until 2020.
At the Zuffenhausen plant, around 400 million
euro will be invested in a new body shell
production facility and a good 80 million euro
in a new engine plant. Porsche will also invest
atwo-digit million euro figure in establishing
central workshops, a new pilot centre and in
expanding the saddlery. As well as all 911 and
718 Boxsters, the 718 Cayman models will
alsoroll off the line here from August 2016
following the expansion of the assembly line.
