ŠKODA Motorsport division has moved its headquarter operations to a new state-of-the-art facility close to the ŠKODA AUTO factory on the outskirts of Mladá Boleslav.

Research and development, production, workshop, storage, prototype workshops, logistics, offices and a show room for customers are housed in the brand new facility, which boasts 1,859 square metres of office space and 3,844 square metres of workshop and storage. In total, the new premises cover 16,400 square metres.

With an improved workflow, we can develop and build up cars even more efficiently and make our services for our customers even better.
