Gföllner and INNIO launch joint venture IGPS – Production of modular energy systems in the USA

Company, Container technology, General

Sankt Georgen bei Grieskirchen / Trenton (NJ) – Gföllner Fahrzeugbau und Containertechnik GmbH and the Innio Group have officially established a joint venture, IGPS – INNIO Gfoellner Power Systems LLC. The aim of this partnership is to develop and manufacture modular energy systems based on INNIO's Jenbacher engine technology and Gföllner's technical container solutions – directly on site in the USA.

New standards for decentralized energy solutions
The new IGPS site in Trenton, New Jersey, is expected to produce over one gigawatt of system output annually starting in 2028. The modular energy modules are characterized by high efficiency, compact design, and high flexibility in use – ideal for the requirements of a dynamic energy market.

Innovation and growth
The establishment of the new production line will create over 200 new jobs in the region. At the same time, both partners will strengthen their presence in the US market. The vision: reliable, scalable energy supply for applications in industry, data centers, infrastructure, and emergency power supply.

Technological strength from Austria meets US market potential
Gföllner brings decades of experience in the construction of high-quality, customized container solutions to the joint venture. Combined with the highly efficient Jenbacher gas engines, this results in powerful energy modules.

The DrinkBox: Efficient tapping for large events

General

At Gföllner, we turn our customers' wishes into innovative container solutions. Together with the organiser of Woodstock der Blasmusik, we have developed the DrinkBox, which enables beer to be tapped in under 10 seconds - thanks to the Beerjet tapping system. This innovation revolutionises the supply of drinks at large events, shortens waiting times and ensures satisfied visitors.

Technical highlights of the DrinkBox

Container space miracle:

An ingenious folding system with an electrically driven cable pull integrated in the container increases the usable area by 35% and transforms a container just 2.4 metres wide into a full-blown bar. Robust materials and sophisticated technology guarantee a long service life and reliable operation.

Efficient dispensing:

Each DrinkBox is equipped with a BEERJET system - an automatic tapping system of 3 units, each with 2 parallel tapping units, which enables beer to be tapped in record time.

Refrigerated container:

Each DrinkBox has its own 20-foot refrigerated container. This has a customised connection system with insulated pipes, which supplies the dispensers with chilled drinks and serves as a refilling area.

Conclusion: Rely on Gföllner for your event

Our hire park offers only the best in event hygiene for your guests. Our BlackBox and BlackLine sanitary containers, cash desk containers and LED containers set new standards in flexibility and functionality. We also develop customised solutions that are specifically tailored to your event. Experience the advantages of Gföllner container solutions and be inspired by our DrinkBox.

The Long Night of Research was a great success! ✨🤝

Company, General

The wide-eyed children, the interested looks and questions - from VR crane driving to virtual welding - it was great to see so many interested faces.

Around 500 visitors found their way to us and we received a lot of positive feedback about the event. The highlights of the evening ranged from impressive technologies to interactive workshops that offered a deep insight into our work.

Highlights of the evening:

  • VR crane driving: Experiencing how to control a crane virtually
  • Virtual welding: Welding without smoke and noise
  • Welding robots in action: the future of production
  • Exciting company tours and numerous interactive stations

Special thanks go to HIAB for providing the VR crane and to Fronius for the virtual welding station. This collaboration made our event even more impressive.
