Target markets for these products include electric vehicles, medical technology, renewable energy, grid expansion, and digitalization.

The plant is located in the Karlovy Vary Business Park, covering an area of 25,000 square meters. WACKER has leased the land and buildings from the investment group Accolade, with Panattoni constructing the building shell, while WACKER is responsible for the design of the production facilities and laboratory equipment.
