Alexander Technologies Europe has announced expansion plans in order to keep pace with rising demand for its lithium-ion products.
The expansion plans include an additional manufacturing facility in Peterlee, UK, and a “significant investment in its battery and charger manufacturing capabilities.”
CEO Michael Shirley described the expansion plans as “a major investment for the company” which “represent a significant increase to our current footprint, from 16,000 sq. ft. to 40,000 sq. ft.”
The expansion— combined with Alexander Technologies’ recent ISO 13485 certification— will allow the company “to improve design and manufacturing capabilities for OEM customers”, Shirley said.
Alexander Technologies is a UK-headquartered designer and manufacturer of secondary batteries, chargers and maintenance equipment. The company currently has design facilities for its portable battery and charging systems in both Europe and the US, and has assembly plants in the UK and Malaysia.
The new Peterlee factory is expected to be open and operational in late 2019.
