Voltfang, provider of green battery storage systems for industry, commerce and large-scale storage applications, officially opened its new production site "Voltfang Future Fab" in Aachen. The plant was ceremonially commissioned by NRW Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst and Aachen's Mayor Sibylle Keupen. The manufacturing facility is intended to produce high-performance and energy-dense storage solutions. By the end of 2026, 250 MWh are planned to be produced, and by the end of 2030 around 1 GWh per year.
David
Oudsandji, co-founder and managing director of Voltfang: "The market for battery storage is growing dynamically. Our vision is to develop high-performance battery storage for German and European industry and to manufacture it here in Germany. With the new facility, alongside scaling, we are also making an important contribution to the economic, ecological, and social transformation of the lignite region in NRW."
In the former Next.e.Go production halls
The new site in the Triwo-Technopark Aachen spans 6,000 m2
and is located in the former production halls of the electric car manufacturer Next.e.Go. Since production started in April, Voltfang has been manufacturing energy storage systems here from second-life and surplus batteries of the European automotive industry. This resource-saving use of existing batteries reduces dependence on Asian supply chains and strengthens local value creation. Voltfang's production capacity has risen fivefold in the past year.
Hendrick Wüst: "Such innovations strengthen the structural transformation in the Rhenish lignite region
and create new prospects for the region."
