Daimler announces a €500 million investment in a new battery factory in Germany

Deutsche ACCUmotive GmbH & Co. KG, Kamenz: Produktion von Lithium-Ionen-Batteriesystemen für automobile Anwendungen. / Deutsche ACCUmotive GmbH & Co. KG, Kamenz: Production of lithium ion battery systems for automobile applications.Daimler announced today an important €500 million ($543.5 million) investment in a new battery factory in Kamenz, Germany, through its ACCUmotive subsidiary. The company already has a relatively small battery plant at the location, but it purchased 20 hectares of land adjacent to the existing plant and plans to build a new factory to produce li-ion batteries for the electric vehicles of its Mercedes and Smart brands.

To be clear, two years ago, ACCUmotive invested about €100 million to expand the current plant, which now has 20,000 square meters (~215,000 sq-ft) of production aera, but this new investment is for an entirely new factory of 40,000 square meters (~430,500 sq-ft) of production space.
