Lithos Energy said its new facility will produce next-generation battery systems at scale for a range of end markets that operate in demanding environments.
HAYWARD, Calif.—Lithos Energy Inc., a manufacturer of high-performance lithium-ion battery systems engineered for demanding environments, recently opened a state-of-the-art manufacturing and pilot line facility in Silicon Valley for its latest generation of battery systems, the company said in a release.
The 65,000-square-foot engineering facility in Hayward will feature enhanced pack assembly automation and will manufacture, at scale, Lithos’s high-performance and high-durability battery pack systems. The facility will also serve as the model for planned, co-located commercial scale factories in proximity to customer manufacturing facilities, both domestically and internationally, the company said.
“We’re thrilled to open our state-of-the-art Hayward facility,” said Lithos Energy Vice President of Operations Chris Gross, in the release. “Our new location immediately provides increased capacity, coupled with the highest standard of manufacturing quality that Lithos is known for. Furthermore, this site allows for advanced manufacturing and efficient R&D, as well as proximity to leading talent recruitment in the heart of Silicon Valley.”
Lithos recently introduced its latest generation of high- and low-voltage modular lithium-ion battery systems, a product line that will serve a range of end markets undergoing electrification. These markets—including EV, mining, marine, construction, agriculture, transportation, and off-highway—require systems that excel in demanding environments, the company said.
“We are on a high growth trajectory, and our new location is an important hub in creating the necessary manufacturing efficiencies for our battery systems,” said Lithos Energy President James Meredith, in a statement. “A new client can reach mass production with Lithos, in many cases, in as soon as eight months. Our Hayward facility will immediately allow us to meet the development needs for clients around the globe, while simultaneously creating the blueprint for future facilities with significant capacity.”
