About Employer

We are building the $2.6 billion facilities (phase 1, 2) in Commerce, GA which is the largest economic development deal in Georgia in more than decade ago, and will generate over 2,000 jobs over the next few years.

The employer has successfully applied high energy density ternary materials to lithium-ion batteries in the electric vehicle battery industry for mass production. Based on such technological capabilities, the employer signed supply contracts with major global automakers, Ford, Hyundai Motor Group, BAIC Group and including Daimler AG has been expanding the electric vehicle battery business.

It has partnered with major automakers and will produce batteries for electric vehicles that will shape the way of the future. Together, the facilities will reach a production capacity of 21.5 gigawatts, the equivalent of powering more than 400,000 vehicles.
