Where are battery cells made?

Today, only a handful of companies that specialize in battery cell manufacturing equipment—used for slurry mixing, electrode manufacturing, cell assembly, and cell finishing—are operating in Europe; the majority are in China, Japan, and South Korea (Exhibit 3).

Do EV OEMs and battery cell manufacturing companies need manufacturing equipment?

EV OEMs and battery cell manufacturing companies will need manufacturing equipment to ramp up production fast and to ensure high factory production performance. Since the majority of announced new gigafactories have planned to start production prior to 2025, companies are making buying decisions about manufacturing equipment supply now.

What is the Targray battery division?

The Targray Battery Division is focused on providing advanced materials and supply chain solutions for lithium-ion battery manufacturers worldwide.
