Astronergy intends to acquire Conergy's module factory Conergy SolarModule GmbH & Co. KG in Frankfurt (Oder). Around 200 local jobs are expected to be saved under the condition of successful acquisition.

We are convinced of the high quality and the profound know how at the manufacturing site and intend to acquire and preserve the location.

The Company is under the final decision making process.”
"Negotiations are on the home stretch, an agreement is imminent", said Sven K. Starke, Managing Director of the Frankfurt module factory. “We are very happy that with Astronergy a global player from the industry intends to partner with us and to thereby secure around 200 of the employments in Frankfurt.
