Big plans at the Liebenfels site.

Expansion of Energetica Industries GmbH into a Green Energy Hotspot.

April 12, 2022

 The offer of Irma Power GmbH for the continuation of the insolvent photovoltaic module manufacturer Energetica Industries GbmH was accepted with significant majority as part of a restructuring procedure today, Tuesday, April 12, 2022. Legal force arises after expiry of the 14-day objection period. The site is to be expanded both in terms of jobs and production. There is already an intensive exchange on the plans with the employees and the community. Liebenfels is to become a green energy hotspot.

IRMA Power GmbH, part of the IRMA Investments Group, has acquired shares in Energetica Industries GmbH in the course of a bidding process. In recent weeks, a restructuring procedure has been carried out in close coordination with the liquidator and the creditors’ representatives in order to secure the location and, above all, to retain the currently around ninety highly qualified employees. “In a second step, our clear goal is to further expand the Liebenfels site and the associated jobs, to train apprentices and to set up a photovoltaic competence center. We will be happy to provide more detailed information on this once today’s decision has become final. Energetica Industries GmbH fits perfectly into the portfolio of IRMA Power GmbH, whose clear focus is on renewable energy,” says Martin Kurschel, owner of the IRMA Investments Group and thus also of IRMA Power GmbH, about the motives for the takeover. “Our aim as a group of companies is to develop affordable solutions for the major challenges of housing, energy, the environment, health and nutrition. We clearly focus our thoughts and actions on recognizing the right potential, seizing opportunities and realizing innovations. Our society is facing a sustainable transformation. And we want to help shape them. That is why, with the still relatively young subsidiary IRMA Power GmbH, we are focusing on climate-friendly energy generation and its storage,” says Kurschel. “We are delighted with the award of the contract and are now dedicating ourselves with full energy together with our highly motivated employees to the implementation of our plans.”
