    FuelCon and Mindset Invest in the Future

    advertisment As a result of the growing number of orders and employees, FuelCon AG has reached the maximum available production capacity in its current headquarters in Magdeburg-Barleben. Now the leading global supplier of testing and diagnostic systems for fuel cells, batteries and super capacitors will build a new headquarters.

    With a total investment of approximately 5 million Euros, FuelCon AG will substantially increase its office and production capacities. A future enhancement will be possible. This investment is also a strong commitment to the industrial location of Saxony-Anhalt. Up to 50 new high quality jobs will be established.

    The new headquarters will be located close to the planned Institute of Competence in AutoMobility that will be supported by the Federal Government of Saxony-Anhalt. The right conditions have been created to attract battery manufacturers like the Swiss company Mindset, which intends to invest in its new battery-production plant in Saxony-Anhalt.

It helps shape strategy and creates additional value for your corporation or your client. I find it essential to digest Site Selection regularly.
