Cymbet Shipping EnerChips from New High Volume Manufacturing Facility

Cymbet Corporation announced that it is now shipping EnerChip Smart Solid State Batteries from their second high volume fabrication facility built in partnership with X-FAB Texas Inc. Shipping EnerChips from this production facility significantly increases Cymbet’s manufacturing capacity to supply the growing global demand for Cymbet’s solid state batteries.

The new Cymbet facility implements a “fab in a foundry concept” where the EnerChip manufacturing tools are integrated within X-FAB’s Lubbock, TX facility.

“We are excited to announce these commercial volume shipments,” said Morgan Thoma, Cymbet vice presient manufacturing and operations. “Bringing up a second manufacturing site is always a challenge, even when using the proven commercial EnerChip production process implemented in our Minnesota fab. Working closely with the experienced X-FAB team was a key factor to this success.”

“We are extraordinarily pleased that Cymbet is now shipping commercially available EnerChip batteries from our Lubbock facility. ,” Lloyd Whetzel, president and CEO of X-FAB Texas Inc., added. “This is another proof point that X-FAB is successfully extending our manufacturing capabilities into new cutting-edge technologies.”

This second EnerChip commercial production facility significantly increases Cymbet’s manufacturing capacity. In anticipation of identified high volume customer requirements, additional floor space has been set aside for future expansion of the EnerChip production lines. With recent capital investments in Cymbet’s Elk River, MN facility and this Lubbock production facility, Cymbet is now the only solid state battery manufacturer in the world to have two geographically diverse manufacturing facilities. This dual source manufacturing capability insures continuous product availability for Cymbet’s customers worldwide.
