CTP and Quanta Computer break ground on new facility in Jülich

CTP and Quanta Computer marked the official start of construction for a new, built-to-suit production facility in Jülich, Germany, located in the Brainergy Park Jülich. The groundbreaking ceremony, attended by over 50 guests, included representatives from Quanta, CTP, Brainergy Park Jülich, the City of Jülich, and local economic and political leaders.

The new facility, with a total usable area of 22,500 sqm, will be customized to meet Quanta’s specific needs, including a product testing laboratory and specialized airlock rooms. This expansion supports Quanta’s growing European presence, with the company leasing the facility for 15 years. CTP is investing 45 million euros into the project, which will create up to 500 jobs in its first phase.

Timo Hielscher, Managing Director M&A at CTP Germany, emphasized the smooth collaboration that enabled the project to proceed on schedule, noting CTP’s deep understanding of Asian business requirements, which has been key in delivering complex projects for high-tech companies across Europe.

The Jülich site is strategically located near Germany’s borders with Belgium and the Netherlands, offering easy access to major European cities such as Frankfurt, Brussels, and Amsterdam. The facility is expected to achieve DGNB Gold certification and will feature photovoltaic systems on its roof.

Frank Drewes, Managing Director of Brainergy Park Jülich GmbH, highlighted the park’s growing appeal to international tech companies, underscoring the area’s potential for innovation and growth. The facility is slated for completion in the second half of 2025.
