The chosen site is located within Rudolstadt-Schwarza ("Rudolstadt") chemical processing hub near Jena and 35km from Talga’s research partner, Friedrich-Schiller University.
The company said that with the facilities chosen, it plans to start preparations for the next stage of upscaling work in July at its Vittangi graphite mine in Sweden.
It plans to fund the plant from proceeds of a $5.5m placement that was concluded in March this year, while additional funding support will come from within Germany which will be used for capital expenditure.
Talga highlighted that the government owned facility was constructed back in 2008, and it includes a 1,248m2 production area that is attached with 323m2 office space and an adjacent 1,167m2 ore dressing/ warehouse.
Talga managing director Mark Thompson said: "We are very fortunate to have secured what is almost a new premise in a well located chemical hub close to our research partners and industry.
"Material funding support is on offer, industrial neighbours at the site include an adjacent polymer factory, our site is close to services for our workforce and it is very central to all our work programs.
"We have made measurable progress in Germany this year and with the site secured, Talga can now focus on engineering and recruitment to commence maiden processing of our Vittangi ore, into graphite and graphene, in the next few months."
