In 1956 the 10,000th Porsche 356 left the plant. Porsche Plant 3 was opened in 1960, also housing the Sales and Customer Service Departments.
In 1964 Porsche KG(company name at the time) took over the Reutter Coachbuilding and Body Construction Company with its workforce of approximately 1,000 employees, that helped increase the production of the 911 model series.
