ZAF Energy Systems receives strategic investment from Wirtz Manufacturing to expand production of rechargeable nickel-zinc batteries
This added capacity will allow ZAF to rapidly seed the market and meet customer demand for rechargeable nickel-zinc (NiZn) batteries globally.
ZAF Energy Systems Inc., Columbia Falls, Mont., received a strategic investment from Wirtz Manufacturing, Port Huron, Mich., to expand ZAF’s manufacturing capacity from hundreds of batteries per month to thousands of batteries per month in the ZAF Joplin, Mo., facility, which opened in 2017.
This added capacity will allow ZAF to rapidly seed the market and meet customer demand for rechargeable nickel-zinc (NiZn) batteries globally. This investment also allows licensing and joint venture partners to validate the quality and throughput of the technology for commercially-scaled factories that are expected to begin buildouts in 2019.
