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.
The investment agreement holds great promise for North Macedonia, as ABEE’s decision to establish BMS production facilities in the country is expected to bring significant economic benefits and job opportunities.
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.
As the country continues to attract foreign investments, it is poised to experience sustained economic growth and the creation of high-value job opportunities. With the signing of the agreement, ABEE and North Macedonia embark on a promising journey together, driven by shared goals of economic development, technological advancement, and prosperity.
