Summary sheet
The investment programme covers 2017-2020 and includes: - the setting-up of two manufacturing lines of 150 000 m2 each, equipped with building-integrated photovoltaics and smart glass manufacturing capacity - further R&D costs on the glass product portfolio - the building out of a pan-European commercial organisation
The loan will support the commercial development of the company, further expansion of its production capacity and the implementation of new investments in R&D.
All project activities are expected to be carried out in existing facilities and would, therefore, not require an environmental impact assessment (EIA) under Directive 2014/52/EU amending the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU.
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not being subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions.
