For immediate release
Leclanché's Battery Cell Production Plant is Back in Full Operation
Company's facility in Willstaett, Germany, operational five weeks after a
minor fire incident;
Sufficient level of production to meet delivery requirements while working
to restore full production capacity
YVERDON LES BAINS, Switzerland and DALLAS, June 1, 2016 - Leclanché S.A.'s
lithium-ion battery cell production facility - located in Willstaett,
Germany - is fully operational after a minor fire incident which occurred
in early April.
Since mid-May, just a few weeks after ramp-up of the company's in-house
back-up machinery, Leclanché's facility is running at a steady production
output. The production level is now sufficient to ensure that delivery
requirements for its various projects will be met.
CTO of Leclanché Pierre Blanc commented "This fast restart was possible
thanks to the safety setup that prevented any propagation of the incident,
and thereby left the vast majority of the machinery unaffected. This
allowed us to quickly recover a sufficient level of production. We are now
focusing on the full recovery of our production capacity."
"Thanks to the robust contingency and business continuation plans built on
our 100 years of industrial heritage, we swiftly responded to this incident
to restart the production plant within a few weeks. The in-house time-
tested processes and know-how helped us to completely prevent any injuries
to any personnel and undesirable environment impact. We are confident that
we will meet all our customer delivery commitments," said Anil Srivastava,
CEO, Leclanché.
