This state-of-the-art factory is expected to produce several tons of silane gas annually, a key raw material for next-generation silicon batteries worldwide.

Group14 delivers SCC55™ to over 100 customers globally, shipped from its first JV factory with SK Inc. in South Korea.

The collaboration between Group14 and CustomCells will push the boundaries for transformative, high-performance battery cells.

“The pace at which our customers are signing up for SCC55® deliveries confirms that since the introduction of silicon batteries, we are at the tipping point for the transition to the electrification of everything,” said Group14 CEO and Co-Founder Rick Luebbe.

Group14 Technologies was named as the silicon battery material manufacturer enabling “breakthrough performance” in Molicel’s ultra-high-power P50B lithium-ion battery cells.

The factory site tour and press conference featured WA State Gov. Jay Inslee, U.S. DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm, and Senator Maria Cantwell.

The company’s latest patents in South Korea add to its broadening portfolio, ensuring worldwide coverage and IP security.

Group14, the leading global manufacturer and supplier of advanced silicon battery technology, announced the commencement of Phase I of its European manufacturing roadmap by beginning preparations to restart operations at its newly acquired silane factory in Spreetal, Germany.

As plant manager, Kersey will oversee all BAM-2 operations across the manufacturing, engineering, and maintenance teams.
