Opening Freiberg

On Wednesday, the new module production plant in Freiberg was launched.

Only one week after the virtual opening of the Meyer Burger solar cell plant in Thalheim, the new module production in Freiberg will be opened on Wednesday, May 26. In addition to Saxony's Prime Minister, Michael Kretschmer, other guests from politics and business will be present to discuss the future of the solar industry in Saxony in a live broadcast panel discussion.

Opening Thalheim

Meyer Burger opens its new high-performance cell factory in the Solar Valley of Bitterfeld-Wolfen virtually.

Only Meyer Burger CEO, Gunter Erfurt, and Saxony-Anhalt's Minister of Economic Affairs, Prof. Armin Willingmann, were in person on site when a new era was ushered in at Solar Valley at the push of a button.
