US solid-state battery company Sakuú said it selected Porsche Consulting to design its commercial-scale battery manufacturing plants.
Porsche Consulting is a subsidiary of German car manufacturer Porsche and will lead all aspects of design for Sakuú’s planned global Gigafactories. Sakuu said its 2030 annual energy output goal is 200GWh.
Porsche Consulting’s expertise in large-scale factory design, particularly in the automotive sector, will enable Sakuú Gigafactories that prioritise sustainable design. They will maximise manufacturing efficiencies that can be replicated efficiently across locations around the globe, it said.
Sakuú’s first plant design will accommodate roll-to-roll manufacturing for its high energy density lithium-metal batteries. That will be followed by a series of first-of-their-kind plants utilising Sakuú’s Kavian platform solution to produce its Swift Print solid-state battery line via advanced multi-material additive manufacturing.
Robert Bagheri, Founder and CEO of Sakuú, said: “With respect for its deep expertise in automotive plant ideation and execution, we ultimately selected Porsche Consulting due to our belief that its team exhibits mastery in designing large-scale manufacturing plants – start to finish.”
