Winterbach's new tower: 30 million euros for the future of energy!
Pfisterer is building a 32 meter high high-voltage laboratory in Winterbach. A significant construction project for the future of the energy infrastructure.
Winterbach's new tower: 30 million euros for the future of energy!
Pfisterer is pushing ahead with the expansion of its production capacities with a new construction project in Winterbach on the B29. The company is investing in an impressive high-voltage hall, which is seen as a milestone in the development of the high-voltage market. Board member Konstantin Kurfiss describes the construction project as an “international dimension” and sees it as an encouragement for confidence in the future, especially in an economically challenging environment.
With a height of almost 32 meters, the planned hall will be the new landmark of the location, which was previously used as an ice cellar. With an investment volume of around 30 million euros, Pfisterer aims to enable type and routine testing of cable accessories for high voltage levels. The building will be directly connected to development and production, which should promote close integration of the individual production steps.
Technological innovation for the HVDC market
Another central aspect of the new building is the qualification of complete HVDC system solutions in cooperation with international cable manufacturers. Fabrice Jedrej, Head of HVDC at Pfisterer, emphasizes the importance of this new hall as a key for technological and economic development in the HVDC sector. High-voltage direct current technology is considered essential for future energy infrastructures because it can bridge large distances efficiently and with little loss.
In the last few months, the company has already successfully completed various type tests for different voltage levels. The new building will enable cable joints, terminations and connection parts for 150 kV and 320 kV to be ready for series production by the end of 2026. In addition to silicone, EPDM-based solutions are also being developed, which underlines Pfisterer's expertise in material processing.
Focus on sustainable energy networks
With this investment, Pfisterer wants to take a pioneering role not only economically, but also technologically. The new building positions the company as a driving force for the further development of high-voltage technologies and at the same time responds to the persistently high demand in the global energy market. At a time when sustainable solutions are needed more than ever, this move is seen as a significant improvement for the infrastructure of the future.
The building should not only provide an answer to current challenges in the energy sector, but also provide new impetus for the entire industry. The Winterbach location could therefore develop into a key point for the development and implementation of state-of-the-art energy technologies, which is in line with recent trends in the new construction sector, as shown on DBA construction be described.
The support from the new hall will enable Pfisterer to offer innovative solutions and promote sustainable energy infrastructures that are important not only locally but also internationally.
