Short­ly befo­re moving into the Car­Bat­tery­Re­Fac­to­ry, the Bava­ri­an Minis­ter of Sta­te for Housing, Con­s­truc­tion and Trans­port Chris­ti­an Bern­rei­ter (CSU) visi­ted the new FENECON pro­duc­tion site on 1 Decem­ber 2023.

Wolf­gang Hai­der, the first mayor of the muni­ci­pa­li­ty of Iggen­s­bach (UBL), and CSU mem­bers of par­lia­ment Ste­fan Mey­er and Josef Heisl were also guests at the ultra-modern plant in Iggensbach.

FENECON CEO Franz-Josef Feil­mei­er explai­ned the plans for the new site in detail to the guests from the world of poli­tics. Minis­ter of Sta­te Chris­ti­an Bern­rei­ter show­ed his delight at the deve­lo­p­ments in Iggensbach.

In the future, inno­va­tions for the ener­gy tran­si­ti­on - Bat­tery ener­gy sto­rage sys­tems for the home, com­mer­ce and indus­try - will be pro­du­ced in the new factory.

Construction work almost complete: Moving in at the turn of the year

Right on sche­du­le: after a good year of con­s­truc­tion, the new FENECON site is almost com­ple­te at the begin­ning of Decem­ber. By the end of the month, the respon­si­ble buil­ding aut­ho­ri­ty will be noti­fied of the start of uti­li­sa­ti­on and the fac­to­ry buil­ding will be lar­ge­ly occupied.

Pro­duc­tion can then start at the begin­ning of 2024. The FENECON home sto­rage line will move in first, befo­re indus­tri­al sto­rage sys­tems are also pro­du­ced in lar­ge series from zero, first and second-life vehic­le bat­te­ries in the Car­Bat­tery­Re­Fac­to­ry. The lar­ge indoor cra­ne is alre­a­dy rea­dy for this. The ver­ti­cal pho­to­vol­taic faça­de is almost com­ple­te­ly instal­led. Dry­wall work, the tech­ni­cal fit-out and inte­ri­or fit-out as well as the two-storey office fit-out have been completed.

Our FENECON team is loo­king for­ward to the start of this sus­tainable pro­ject for the con­s­truc­tion of Bat­tery ener­gy sto­rage sys­tems from elec­tric vehic­le bat­te­ries, which is sub­si­di­sed by the EU Inno­va­ti­on Fund and the Bava­ri­an Eco­no­mic Deve­lo­p­ment Agency.

FENECON cele­bra­ted the top­ping-out cerem­o­ny in Iggen­s­bach, whe­re the Car­Bat­tery­Re­Fac­to­ry is being built. At the end of 2023, FENECON starts manu­fac­tu­ring lar­ge ener­gy sto­rage sys­tems made from EV-bat­te­ries at the new facility.

After the con­s­truc­tion work had pro­gres­sed accor­ding to sche­du­le and the ear­thworks, cana­li­sa­ti­on, con­cre­te work and instal­la­ti­on of pre­cast con­cre­te ele­ments had been com­ple­ted, the top­ping-out cerem­o­ny was cele­bra­ted in June 2023 - tog­e­ther with the com­pa­nies, trades and pro­ject teams involved. 

“Long live the buil­ders who have given their strength to the con­s­truc­tion.” - From the top­ping-out speech.

Location for the 100% energy transition

In Novem­ber 2022, con­s­truc­tion work began on the future new main site with office buil­ding, pro­duc­tion and warehouse in Iggen­s­bach. The new plant will enable FENECON to increase its pro­duc­tion capa­ci­ties from the end of 2023. 

Modern pro­duc­tion and sto­rage faci­li­ties, deve­lo­p­ment labo­ra­to­ries and offices are being built on the site, which is loca­ted direct­ly on the A3 free­way exit Iggen­s­bach. All par­king lots will be equip­ped with char­ging sta­ti­ons for elec­tric cars. FENECON uses sui­ta­ble roof and faca­de sur­faces for solar power production. 

Indus­tri­al pro­duc­tion is sche­du­led to start at the end of 2023 and grow along with it, for well over 90 new employees, a third of whom are jobs for engi­neers. In 2024, the new office buil­ding oppo­si­te the Car­Bat­tery­Re­Fac­to­ry is to be occu­p­ied and the FENECON main site inaugurated.

The Car­Bat­tery­Re­Fac­to­ry is being built in Iggen­s­bach, Lower Bava­ria, in the dis­trict of Deg­gen­dorf. The pro­ject is fun­ded with 4.5 mil­li­on euros by the EU Inno­va­ti­on Fund, which sup­ports par­ti­cu­lar­ly sus­tainable and cli­ma­te-fri­end­ly pro­jects.

In addi­ti­on, FENECON recei­ved 1.7 mil­li­on euros from the Bava­ri­an Eco­no­mic Deve­lo­p­ment Cor­po­ra­ti­on for the con­s­truc­tion of the elec­tri­ci­ty sto­rage fac­to­ry. At the future pro­duc­tion site, indus­tri­al sto­rage sys­tems will be manu­fac­tu­red from zero-, first- and second-life vehic­le bat­te­ries from the end of 2023.

FENECON has alre­a­dy been pro­du­cing lar­ge con­tai­ner sto­rage sys­tems from elec­tric vehic­le bat­te­ries sin­ce 2017. Small series pro­duc­tion is curr­ent­ly still taking place at the plant in Künz­ing; indus­tria­liza­ti­on for lar­ge series pro­duc­tion is then to take place at the Car­Bat­tery­Re­Fac­to­ry in Iggensbach.

December 2023

Completion of the building

Occu­pa­ti­on of the new fac­to­ry is immi­nent fol­lo­wing com­ple­ti­on of the dry con­s­truc­tion work and inte­ri­or work as well as the out­door faci­li­ties and asphal­ting. The last modu­les for the ver­ti­cal pho­to­vol­taic faça­de sys­tem are being installed.
