SCHEUTEN SOLAR STAYS IN VENLO

[BIZ: Heerlen, June 12]
Contrary to an earlier report in this journal (Issue 159), Scheuten will not be building its solar foil production plant in Avantis but will be extending its Venlo location. This is a disappointing day for Avantis, the cross-border Dutch-German business park which had expected to be the new location for the solar foil plant but this is now to be built in Venlo. An attractive offer was made to Scheuten but they have decided to stay in Venlo.

Dr Jürgen Linden, the mayor of Aachen regrets their decision but points out that this won’t change the general direction of developments at Avantis, which is to profile new energy. There will be a new EON energy center and a rapid expansion of Solland Solar Energy and a new lab for a silicon technology.
