First came Q-Cells, the world's largest manufacturer of solar cells. Since starting in 2001, the company has produced more than 100 million solar cells. Five thousand total new jobs have been planned for this area by 2010. EverQ GmbH, which located here since 2005, is now planning to create another 500 jobs by building their third manufacturing plant. With 1,000 employees, EverQ is already manufacturing solar modules in "Thalheim Solar Valley" in a single technical step. Indeed, all well-known photovoltaic technologies are now represented in "Solar Valley." Christian Langen, CSO EverQ GmbH: "The Solar Valley is a great environment for dynamic growth. This location boasts a well-skilled work force, and the regional authorities provide significant, non-bureaucratic support. Thalheim has proven to be a great home for EverQ. The Solar Valley enabled us to rapidly extend production capacities to serve our clients around the world." www.invest-in-saxony-anhalt.com CONDUCT LOCATION RESEARCH ON ANY U.S. STATE OR COMMUNITY DevelopmentAlliance.com has always offered detailed state, county, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical data for companies seeking new business locations in the U.S. ...
