First Solar Inc. (FSLR)’s plan to close a factory in eastern Germany with 1,200 employees has “surprised” the region’s government, which will meet with company executives today.
Brandenburg State Governor Matthias Platzeck and state Economy Minister Ralf Christoffers are due to meet First Solar Chairman Mike Ahearn and other executives after the company said yesterday it would shut its module plant in Frankfurt an der Oder in the fourth quarter, the government said in a statement.
The state government also formed a working group to “stabilize the industry location” of Frankfurt an der Oder, it said.
