Volkswagen’s Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden is continuing its transformation process as part of the company’s evolving production and corporate strategy. For many years, the site has symbolized transparency, innovation, and modern automotive manufacturing.
As Volkswagen reassesses its global strategy, the role of the Dresden facility is changing. The focus is shifting away from traditional series production toward new functions aligned with efficiency, digital transformation, and future mobility concepts.
The Gläserne Manufaktur is increasingly being positioned as a brand communication hub and a venue for showcasing technological developments. It is also becoming a platform for educational initiatives, research-related activities, and events centered on sustainability and innovation.
According to company representatives, these changes are part of Volkswagen’s long-term strategic roadmap aimed at strengthening competitiveness and operational flexibility. At the same time, the Gläserne Manufaktur retains its architectural significance and symbolic value within the company.
The transformation will be implemented gradually, taking economic conditions and strategic priorities into account, while maintaining dialogue with employees and local authorities in Dresden.
