Porsche’s state-of-the-art production facility in Leipzig has clinched the Automotive Lean Production Award 2025 in the OEM category, earning recognition for its excellence in lean, digitally networked, and highly automated manufacturing.
Presented annually since 2006 by Agamus Consult and Automobil Produktion, the award honours plants that excel in efficiency, quality, and innovation through lean principles and digital integration. The Leipzig plant impressed the jury with its focus on cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and continuous improvement, involving employees at every stage of the process.
Production at Leipzig leverages advanced automation, cutting-edge technology, and resource-conscious methods. This streamlined approach has set benchmarks in the industry for combining performance with environmental responsibility.
The official award ceremony will be held at the 19th Automotive Lean Production Congress on 25–26 November 2025 at Volkswagen Poznań, Poland. Winners were selected after detailed questionnaires, on-site evaluations, and shopfloor walkthroughs.
