Jungheinrich and Triathlon acquire site for ‘Europe’s biggest’ LIB production centre

German firms Triathlon Batteries and forklift OEM Jungheinrich have acquired a 240,000m2 site to build one of Europe’s biggest lithium-ion battery pack assembly plants for the motive application market.
The companies’ JT Energy Systems joint venture, formed earlier this year, will initially build a 42,000m2 production plant on the former solar equipment-manufacturing site in Freiberg, in the eastern-German state of Saxony.
