French battery foils manufacturer Armor Battery Films has inaugurated its new manufacturing site in France for the production of carbon-coated current collectors.
The company is scaling up its production capacity fivefold to support the global growth of battery manufacturers.
The new site has an annual capacity of 150 million square meters, equivalent to 40 GWh or 800,000 50 kWh EV batteries. The building is designed to expand capacity up to 100 GWh.
The infrastructure supports fast industrialization and flexible product design, including inline or intermittent coating and adjustable widths, according to the company.
The facility includes a dedicated 500-square-meter R&D Center with three labs for formulation electrochemistry and physicochemistry, including a dry room, enabling coin and pouch cell testing of the company’s coated current collectors.
“The new equipment enables us to better understand the performance of our primed current collectors and share more relevant data with our customers. We’re now able to create more advanced and customized current collectors that match the fast-emerging demands of the battery industry, in many different new areas for the new battery generations,” said Pierre Guichard, Head of R&D at Armor Battery Systems. “Thanks to this new facility, we’ll soon unveil a new current collector specifically designed for LFP technologies, tailored to meet the demands of the electric vehicle market.”
