The corresponding agreement with the government there has already been signed. More than 60 production lines are to be built there by 2028. According to its own information, BMZ wants to start battery production initially in a rented building in the metropolitan region of Skopje.
It is not known how much the company is investing in the North Macedonia site or what kind of batteries are produced there. In July, BMZ Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with CALB (China Lithium Battery Technology) for the development and production of batteries for electric commercial vehicles.
Like others in the region, North Macedonia must balance its need to rapidly accelerate the transition to renewables to secure its energy future with the need to ensure that future is one where both the country’s nature and people thrive.
The battery manufacturer says it decided on a location in North Macedonia for various reasons – on the one hand, North Macedonia is known for its “investor-friendly policies” and the company sees the “enormous growth opportunities of BMZ”. On the other hand, the company suffers from a shortage of skilled workers in Germany as well as in Poland.
