Meyer Burger (Germany) AG

Meyer Burger, the last major solar module producer in Germany, filed for insolvency in 2025 and is now auctioning inventory from its Bitterfeld‑Wolfen and Freiberg sites. The company’s end is symbolic of the decline of the former “Solar Valley,” where production and employment have fallen sharply. Causes include declining domestic subsidies, massive price pressure from Chinese producers, and structural changes in the market. Research and specialized niches remain active in Germany, but experts are calling for political measures such as bonuses or tariffs to enable an industrial renaissance. » Altro su finanzen.net
