Amprius Technologies, which is developing a silicon battery anode platform, has signed a new contract manufacturing agreement with an unnamed battery manufacturer in South Korea.
Amprius said that the strategic partnership expands its global production footprint and enhances its ability to deliver high-performance SiCore cells at scale to meet rising global demand.
The South Korean partner brings extensive experience in manufacturing advanced lithium-ion batteries across a range of form factors and cell chemistries. Initial production will include a balanced SiCore cell engineered to deliver high-energy and high-power performance for an advanced drone.
The facility will manufacture SiCore silicon anode cells to Amprius’s specifications, supporting current and next-generation battery platforms. These high-performance lithium-ion cells are optimized for high-demand applications in aerospace, defense and electric mobility.
The addition of this manufacturing partner builds upon Amprius’s existing 1.8 GWh of contracted production capacity, enabling the company to deliver at volume. The expansion also allows Amprius to streamline logistics and accelerate delivery timelines to customers.
“This partnership reflects the next step in Amprius’s capital-light production scaling strategy,” said Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies. “By expanding our manufacturing footprint into new regions, we are strengthening our supply chain and positioning ourselves to serve global customers with greater speed and efficiency.”
