New plant in the Bitterfeld Chemical Park: 19 jobs for the future!
There was a cheerful atmosphere in the Bitterfeld-Wolfen chemical park when the biotech company Campo Amargo recently opened its new production facility. With an investment of four million euros, the company wants to create considerable production capacity for synthesis reagents that are used to produce artificial genetic material. These innovative chemicals produce small pieces of DNA and RNA, which act as a genetic blueprint for living beings and are used in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine. MDR reports increasing demand for these products, which play an important role in the global healthcare sector.
The official opening took place as part of a company tour, during which Stefanie Pötzsch, State Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Saxony-Anhalt, was also present. She underlined the importance of this new facility for the region and emphasized that up to 19 new jobs will be created. The use of an existing property on Chlorstrasse for the conversion to a spacious production area of 1,800 m² also shows that Bitterfeld-Wolfen has good conditions for rapid growth and effective production. Investing in Saxony-Anhalt reports that the total area of the property is around 7360 m² and further expansion phases are already being planned.
Strong local support and infrastructure development
Managing director Uwe Möller emphasized the excellent infrastructural conditions in the chemical park, which take into account the chemical tradition of the location. Also Dr. Derek Levinson, who is also responsible for Campo Amargo, made it clear that the company can respond flexibly to growing demand. The settlement is an important concern for local politicians: Andy Grabner, district administrator of Anhalt-Bitterfeld, described the settlement as a vote of confidence in the economic stability of the region, while Bitterfeld-Wolfen's mayor Armin Schenk viewed the opening as a benefit for the city.
The importance of the chemical park is not only reflected in Campo Amargo: the company Skeleton Materials is also currently investing 42 million euros in the construction of the world's first factory for the industrial production of “curved graphene”. This new material promises more powerful energy storage and is more environmentally friendly than conventional graphite. The support from the Saxony-Anhalt Ministry of Energy amounting to 18.3 million euros illustrates the state government's commitment to innovative technologies and sustainable production in the chemical park. MWU Saxony-Anhalt highlights that Skeleton Materials will also create promising jobs.
All in all, the latest developments in the Bitterfeld-Wolfen Chemical Park show that the region is developing into a hotspot for innovative biotechnologies and sustainable materials. The investments are not only a sign of economic growth, but also of job creation and the promotion of environmentally friendly technologies. In the coming years we will have to observe how these trends will shape economic and social life in the region.
