Niedax opens technology campus in Rahms, up to 500 jobs planned

On 3 February 2026 the Niedax Group officially opened its technology campus and the Synnoscape experience centre in Neustadt/Wied-Rahms (Rhineland-Palatinate); Chancellor Friedrich Merz took part in the opening. The campus covers an area of more than 100,000 m², is meant to grow in the long term and is expected to offer up to 500 jobs in due course; a production site for fibre-optic cable ducts is also planned on neighbouring land in due course. From here Niedax intends to steer, together with partners, the build-up of a fibre network along about 33,000 km of railway track and of small and medium-sized data centres; the partner companies of the experience centre include Netz 33, Corning and Bechtle. The report gives no investment sum. (LOK Report, 3 Feb 2026)
