• Forge Nano breaks ground on a major expansion of its lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility.
• The expansion will create over 250 jobs and establish 3 GWh of annual battery cell manufacturing capacity.
• The facility aims to address US dependence on foreign-controlled supply chains for critical applications.
• Production is expected to begin in 2028.

This investment may indicate a significant shift in the US battery industry, strengthening domestic supply chains and reducing dependence on foreign-controlled sources. The partnership with Samsung SDI suggests a collaborative effort to advance US battery manufacturing capabilities, which could have implications for the global battery market and US competitiveness in defense and aerospace applications.
