MARNA Beteiligungen wants to buy solar company Flisom
The German MARNA Beteiligungen AG wants to take over the majority of the Flisom Group. The spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich has developed particularly thin and flexible solar modules. She makes them in Hungary.
According to a press release , MARNA Beteiligungen AG from Heidelberg plans to take over the majority of the Flisom Group based in Niederhasli. MARNA Beteiligungen AG wants to cooperate with FL1 Holding GmbH, which belongs to it, and is also planning a capital increase.
Flisom, a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich ( ETH ), has developed particularly flexible and lightweight thin-film solar cells. They are produced on plastic films using so-called roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques and can be attached to roofs or facades, for example. However, they are also suitable for use in mobility applications, such as in aviation. In 2020, Flisom commissioned a 40-megawatt production plant in Hungary to manufacture the modules.
"Flisom is ideally positioned to benefit from the megatrends behind the increasing demand for electricity (…)," writes MARNA Beteiligungen AG in the press release. She counts population growth, increasing prosperity, digitization and electromobility among these megatrends.
According to the information, various requirements still have to be met for the planned transaction.
