EnerSys Selects Greenville, South Carolina to Advance its Lithium Battery Production in the United States - Seite 2

“Greenville County is proud to welcome EnerSys to South Carolina’s Upstate. Although growing, this community maintains a reputation for serving and helping one another. We look forward to including EnerSys and its team members in our Greenville family as we evolve into a long-lasting and successful partnership,” said Chairman of the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee Bruce Bannister.

“Greenville welcomes EnerSys to our county and is grateful to its team for selecting our community to expand its technological capabilities. The company’s investment is a testament to Greenville’s diverse and robust manufacturing environment and highly skilled workforce,” said Greenville County Council Chairman Dan Tripp.

This latest development comes after EnerSys announced on June 14, 2023, that it had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Verkor SAS, a European leader in battery technology, to explore the development of a lithium battery gigafactory in the United States.

The Company is targeting construction to begin in early 2025 and operations to be online in late 2027.

The transaction, among other things, is subject to customary closing conditions, final Board approval, regulatory and incentive approvals.
