The NordDrivesystems manufacturing plant in Wiechlicher, Poland, is scheduled to undergo an expansion that will nearly triple its production capacity. As part of the expansion plans, the plant will install a new geothermal heating system.

Nord's Wiechlicher plant in western Poland is the company's second production facility in Poland and is where IE5+ synchronous motors are manufactured. The plant was established in 2019 but is now required to produce beyond its current capacity.

"Demand for IE5+ motors and other electric motors has increased further, which makes the expansion work necessary," explains Jörg Niermann, Nord's head of marketing. The plant currently produces 10,000 motors per week and employs 220 people. Both figures are expected to increase significantly after the expansion.

As part of the expansion, a geothermal heating system will also be installed at the plant. A total of 52 boreholes with a depth of up to 250 meters will provide emission-free heating for the newly expanded plant, Niermann further explains, adding that the geological conditions in Vihliche make it particularly suitable for the use of geothermal energy.

"As a value-oriented family business, we see sustainability as an important part of our corporate responsibility, and here we see good possibilities to further reduce our corporate carbon footprint," Niermann further stated.

Construction work on the plant expansion began in April 2023 and the new plant is expected to open in the second quarter of 2024.

Momentum is growing for geothermal development in Poland. Just this year, geothermal drilling was announced in both Grodziec and Wolomin. In Podhale, drilling of a 7-kilometer geothermal well has also begun.
