Thurso-based battery maker AMTE Power has unveiled plans to build a production line in Australia as it takes further steps towards its ambition of building a UK-based “gigafactory”.
AMTE has joined forces with InfraNomics Technologies to build a 200,000 cell “micro” production line in Australia’s so-called “Lithium valley”.
The company, which specialises in the development and production of lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery cells, said its ambition for the joint venture was to “ultimately build a gigafactory to manufacture lithium ion battery cells capable of producing between 1-2GWh per annum for use in energy storage systems in Australia”.
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.
