Loop Industries Selects Germany for First European Plant
Loop Industries announced that its joint venture, Infinite Loop Europe, has selected BASF Industriepark Lausitz in Schwarzheide, Germany, as the site for its inaugural European manufacturing facility. Led by Reed - Societe Generale Group, the project will be the second Infinite Loop facility globally and the first under Loop's licensed technology model. This selection marks a major step in Loop's global commercialization strategy, with the site expected to be operational by 2030. The development follows the December 2024 technology license agreement and the formation of Infinite Loop Europe. Loop previously received a EUR 10 million upfront license payment and expects to begin generating incremental engineering and license revenue during the development phase, commencing in 2026 as the project advances through engineering and permitting. Infinite Loop Europe reflects Loop's strategic licensing model, designed to accelerate the global rollout of its technology alongside well-capitalized institutional partners. The selection of Industriepark Lausitz reinforces the robustness of Loop's technology within one of the world's most rigorous regulatory environments.
