en.Wedoany.com Reported - Alsym Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding with Re:Build Manufacturing to establish commercial-scale sodium-ion battery cell manufacturing capacity in the United States. The two companies stated that the partnership aims to combine Alsym Energy's battery technology with Re:Build's industrial manufacturing capabilities to meet rapidly growing battery demand.
Mukesh Chatter, CEO of Alsym Energy, said that modern manufacturing requires batteries that are safe, low-cost, and do not compromise performance. The company's Na series batteries meet the energy needs of industries such as AI data centers, utilities, and commercial real estate. Chatter noted that partnering with Re:Build can accelerate the roadmap for domestic commercial production, as their expertise in precision manufacturing and battery components complements Alsym Energy. He also emphasized that together, they provide ESS integrators and developers with access to high-quality cells that are non-flammable, high-performance, supported by a reliable non-FEOC supply chain, and fully compliant with tax credit and defense procurement rules. The joint initiative primarily focuses on developing battery cell capacity within Re:Build's existing facility in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, leveraging the region's deep manufacturing history and workforce to significantly reduce logistics lead times and transportation costs.
Alsym executives pointed out that the limitations of current battery technology are becoming increasingly apparent: traditional lithium-ion batteries are highly flammable and unreliable, slowing down US energy storage deployment and limiting practical application scenarios. Alsym's sodium-ion batteries are non-flammable, which the company says can unlock domestic industry capabilities in the US. Miles Arnone, CEO of Re:Build Manufacturing, stated that manufacturing more reliable battery cells can play a significant role in revitalizing US manufacturing, and the joint approach will help energy storage developers maximize tax incentives, including the 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit.
