Armor Battery Films Opens France Plant for Advanced Current Collectors
Armor Battery Films has opened a new manufacturing site in France, dedicated to producing carbon-coated current collectors. The facility, designed to expand news capacity up to 100 GWh, covers an annual area of 150 million square meters, equivalent to 40 GWh or 800,000 50 kWh EV batteries.
The new site features a 500-square-meter R&D Center with three labs for formulation electrochemistry and physicochemistry. This enables coin and pouch cell testing, supporting the development of advanced current collectors tailored to specific battery technologies.
The new infrastructure supports fast industrialization and flexible product design, including inline or intermittent coating and adjustable widths. This allows Armor Battery Systems to better understand the performance of its primed current collectors and create more advanced and customized ones.
Pierre Guichard, Head of R&D at Armor Battery Systems, leads the research and development division focused on battery current collectors and related technologies. Under his guidance, the company's production capacity has increased fivefold to support global battery manufacturers.
The new manufacturing site and R&D Center will soon unveil a new current collector specifically designed for LFP technologies, tailored to meet the demands of the electric vehicle market. This expansion demonstrates Armor Battery Systems' commitment to driving innovation in battery technology and supporting the growth of the electric vehicle industry.
