INNIO Group (INNIO) and Gföllner Group have established a joint venture in the US, INNIO Gfoellner Power Systems LLC. The joint venture aims to meet the rising demand for decentralized, flexible, and quickly deployable energy solutions. INNIO will hold a majority stake in the new company and will provide its Jenbacher gas engines, which will be containerized on site to create modular energy solutions.
“This joint venture is another important step forward on our growth path. With decentralized plug-and-play energy solutions, we are the ideal partner to help meet the rapidly growing energy demands of the US,” said Dr. Olaf Berlien, president and CEO of INNIO.
With its Jenbacher and Waukesha product brands, INNIO Group offers solutions for the power generation and compression segments. INNIO Group is headquartered in Austria, with operations in the US and Canada.
Production of the container modules with Jenbacher engines is scheduled to begin by the end of 2025. By 2028, the capacity of the containers produced will be capable of delivering well over 1 gigawatt of output annually. The container modules will be manufactured in Trenton, New Jersey.
“This joint venture supports the expansion of North America’s energy infrastructure through decentralized container systems. Gföllner is committed to enabling a secure and sustainable energy supply worldwide,” said Karl Pühretmair, owner and CEO at Gföllner Group.
Headquartered in Austria with production sites in the Czech Republic and Austria, Gföllner Group is a specialist in the construction of technical containers and vehicle production, from engineering, steel construction, sheet metal working, and welding technology to corrosion protection and the integration of sensitive technical systems. The company operates internationally with an export ratio of 75%.
