CustomCells accelerates aggressive growth plans with the integration of Group14 silicon battery material in the electric vehicle (EV), eMobility, and eAviation sectors

“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 advanced silicon battery materials factory site tour and press conference featured Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, and U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell.

The company’s latest patents in South Korea add to its broadening portfolio, ensuring worldwide coverage of its proprietary technologies, products, and production processes.

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 Moses Lake operations across the manufacturing, engineering, and maintenance teams at BAM-2, which is currently on track to finish construction in 2024 and is expected to be the world’s largest factory for advanced silicon battery materials.

As Group14 continues to scale, the $100 million award is instrumental in accelerating the company’s domestic manufacturing capacity to deliver advanced silicon battery materials to secure the U.S. battery supply chain.

Dr. Mink’s leadership and expertise in the chemical industry will be a crucial asset to support Group14’s growth as it scales its global manufacturing capacity in the US, Asia, and Europe.
