Lithium-ion battery cells have been manufactured in Caithness since the 1990s, but when AMTE Power bought its Thurso factory in 2013, it heralded the beginning of an ambitious new era.
From almost zero, the Thurso factory now employs around 45 staff, though on any one day the head count at Thurso could be larger with regular visits from colleagues based at AMTE’s head office.
AMTE was established with the aim of finding new markets as the lithium-ion sector began looking beyond its established client base.
AMTE Power plc (LON:AMTE) is a recognised brand in the production of high-quality lithium-ion batteries across a range of markets including automotive, aerospace, defence, oil & gas and energy storage.
