"It’s exciting to be able to join the Amprius team at this pivotal moment in the company’s journey. As the VP of Infrastructure, I am thrilled to contribute to the Amprius mission of enabling the future of electric mobility, augmenting the reach of our breakthrough silicon nanowire anode technology,” said Huie. “I look forward to leading the scaling initiatives to serve critical customers and broaden our reach.”

Huie brings over 30 years of facility development and management experience to Amprius. He most recently served as the Director of Facilities at Panasonic Energy of North America; in that role, he was responsible for facilities site leadership at the Sparks, NV location as well as a critical participant in strategic initiatives like new product introductions and the GigaWatt manufacturing expansion project. Prior work experiences highlight success across team building and leadership, as well as project expansion at both large and small enterprises.

The decision to appoint Huie is well-timed following Amprius’ recent entry into the public markets subsequent to the close of its business transaction with Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. Amprius began trading on the NYSE under the ticker “AMPX” on September 15, 2022, and plans to use the proceeds of this transaction to accelerate the construction of the new high-volume manufacturing facility in either Texas or Georgia, significantly expanding its production capabilities. Huie’s appointment signifies Amprius' investment of an executive to lead this critical commitment to our stakeholders.
