Minister-President Winfried Kretschmann visits ElringKlinger - Seite 2

Production of battery components has been ramping up in Neuffen since last year. During a tour of the plant, the Minister-President experienced the production of cell contacting systems for a global battery manufacturer. Series production of cell contacting systems for the BMW Group's NEW CLASS will start in 2025.

Minister-President Winfried Kretschmann emphasized: "ElringKlinger is a company that shows initiative - an important partner for the state and for Europe. It is at the forefront of two mammoth EU projects, including with its battery technology, for which construction is now underway in Neuffen.

The aim of the Future Technologies Competence Center is to become even better, more sustainable, more durable and more cost-effective. I am very pleased about the strong commitment to the location and to electromobility. Good luck with the construction project and continued success for ElringKlinger!"

Symbolic ground-breaking ceremony for new logistics center

Following the tour, the Minister-President, together with the ElringKlinger Management Board and other project participants, performed the symbolic ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of the new logistics center at the Neuffen site. ElringKlinger is expanding its current production area by around 4,500 square meters. With this expansion, ElringKlinger is increasing its capacity in Neuffen for the strategic future field of battery technology and making the site fit for further large-scale production of battery components, modules and systems. In addition to ElringKlinger, the landlord and owner, the Leuze Group based in Owen, is investing up to EUR 10 million in the building extension.
