Global battery manufacturer, Alexander Battery Technologies (ABT), is recruiting and investing in its UK and overseas sites as it embarks on a growth strategy to meet rising worldwide demand.
ABT’s CEO, Alex Stapleton, said: “The business invested heavily during 2023, to set us up for growth in the coming years. We concluded the complete design and build of our Battery Technology Centre, providing 12 dedicated laboratories for new battery development projects.
“These bring important capabilities of engaging in up to 12 different projects in parallel, for projects up to 800V and over 100kWh. The Battery Technology Centre also added much needed office space, as well as extra production floorspace to further future- proof the flexibility of our UK site.”
Additional equipment will go into this building in 2024, including a bespoke test-rig for battery testing, which can be adapted for a wide range of projects and applications, such as high voltage requirements.
