5N Plus Inc. announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, 5N Plus Corp, was awarded $500,000 in funding from the State Energy Program of Wisconsin to support equipment purchases directed at expanding its recycling activities and to create a new jobs in DeForest, WI.

The 60,500 square‐foot facility represents an investment of more than $4 million and will be operational in the coming weeks. The facility will recycle solar modules and manufacture specialty compounds for thin‐film PV applications.

“This new facility is an important milestone for 5N Plus as it expands its footprint in the U.S.,” Nicholas Audet, vice president of 5N Plus, said. “The DeForest plant enables us to recycle solar panels and to provide cradle‐to‐cradle solutions to the PV industry. We are thankful to the State Energy Program of Wisconsin for their support of 5N Plus Corp.”
