Raeon has expanded its UK manufacturing capability with the launch of a new 6,000 sq ft facility in Warwick, a move aimed at strengthening the domestic battery supply chain and supporting sectors underserved by mass‑market suppliers.
The Harriott Drive site brings the company’s FloLock™ technology into full production, a proprietary resin‑encapsulation method that allows the creation of durable, thermally managed batteries in almost any form factor to maximise available space. The company say the process removes the need for costly injection‑moulding tooling, cutting development costs by more than 70% and reducing prototype lead times to around 12 weeks. The approach also decouples design from cell technology, enabling the adoption of the latest cells at any stage, including during production.
The new plant sits alongside Raeon’s existing engineering hub near Witney, Oxfordshire, which will continue to operate as a dedicated R&D centre. Locating production within the UK’s “Golden Triangle” of engineering is intended to give British manufacturers a reliable domestic source for bespoke, high‑performance energy storage.
CEO and Co‑Founder Murray Schofield said: “For too long, innovative UK manufacturers in sectors like Marine, Defence, and Niche Automotive have been forced to compromise—either buying off-the-shelf batteries that don’t fit their products or facing unpalatable costs for bespoke development. Our new Warwick facility changes that. By industrialising our FloLock™ technology here in the West Midlands, we are proving that you don’t need to be a mass-market giant to get the perfect battery. This facility is about unlocking electrification for the rest of the market and doing it right here in Britain.”
COO and Co‑Founder Tom Brooks added: “Expanding our operations into this new facility represents a huge step forward for Raeon. We are moving to a semi-automated production environment capable of supporting our customers from their first prototype all the way through to series production. Whether it is high-performance Motorsport, ruggedised Defence applications, or next-generation Aerospace, this site gives us the capacity to deliver. It provides the supply chain security that is critical for the growth of the UK’s green economy.”
The Warwick site is already supplying customers across niche automotive, marine, defence, aerospace, ESS, restomod and motorsport markets in the UK and overseas.
About Raeon
Raeon was founded in early 2023 by three engineers who previously worked together at Arrival, where they helped design, validate and produce battery modules for all Arrival and Charge vehicles. Confronted by the high cost and rigid processes typical of mobility‑sector battery development, the founders set out to rethink how batteries are designed and manufactured.
The company now serves small and medium‑sized markets that have historically struggled to justify bespoke battery development, offering tailored solutions that unlock performance and meet growing customer demand.
