Investments in battery machinery equipment will exceed 200 billion € in 2030 while diversification in battery cell types and technologies increase (LIB, SIB, ASSB, LIS, …)
New battery machinery equipment needed
A highly uncertain, complex market meets inflexible and fragmented production equipment
- High investment risks for inflexible gigafactory battery machinery equipment
- No holistic equipment supplier for
small- to midscale production volumes with extensive battery knowhow - High barriers and costs in battery cell development
Overcoming challenges in the battery industry
- Enabling battery innovation:
Innovation is at the heart of battery industry development. A fast-paced environment requires flexible technologies with the ability to adapt to state-of-the-art technologies. - Enabling efficient production scaling:
As demand for energy storage solutions grows, so does the need for scalable production processes. - Enable volume production for small to medium volumes:
The importance of cost-effective production is very present especially for small to medium volumes. A serial production both feasible and efficient must be provided.
The centrepiece of MANUGY
