(News Bulletin 247) – Ericsson will build a next-generation technology and manufacturing center in Tallinn, Estonia.
This new facility, representing an investment of approximately 155 million euros (169 million dollars), has sustainability and operational efficiency as a priority.
The project aims to unite all of Ericsson’s operations in Estonia into a single state-of-the-art 50,000 m² hub comprising testing laboratories, warehouses, production lines and offices.
The fully connected hub will be located in the town of Ülemiste in Tallinn, the largest business park and future-oriented urban area in the Baltics. The new European hub should be operational in early 2026,
Fredrik Jejdling, Executive Vice President and Head of Networks at Ericsson, said: ‘This decision is part of Ericsson’s long-term strategy for a more resilient and sustainable supply chain, significantly reducing our carbon footprint and leveraging the power of 5G for smart manufacturing. ‘
The new European hub is expected to reduce its carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to the four existing facilities in Tallinn.
