鈥淣ikkiso is investing to meet clean energy market demand and growing our operations in Germany because of increasingly favorable market conditions for low-carbon energy solutions,鈥� said Peter Wagner, Executive Chairman, Nikkiso CE&IG Board.

Expanding manufacturing space and capabilities in Europe will help the Group share knowledge and expertise between regions and provide good-paying jobs for local workers 鈥� approximately 20 percent growth in the near term with further growth expected longer term.

鈥淣ikkiso brings a depth of experience in the cryogenics industry that few can match,鈥� said Adrian Ridge, CEO, Nikkiso CE&IG. 鈥淭he facility in Wurzen will be Nikkiso鈥檚 manufacturing hub in Europe and complement our customer center in Neuenburg.鈥�

The Prime Minister of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, added: 鈥淭he facility expansion of Nikkiso in Wurzen is a far-sighted investment that shows how attractive Saxony is as a business location for international investors. The doubling of production capacity is a vote of confidence that we can be proud of. With this decision, Nikkiso will become an important part of the hydrogen economy that we in Saxony want to rely on in the coming decades. I am delighted that together we are strengthening this cooperation in the direction of clean energy and innovation. This is good news for Wurzen and for Saxony as a business location.鈥�

Facility operations are and will continue to be fully powered by renewable solar energy when the expanded operation is complete in the first half of 2025.
