Charged EVs | Michigan battery plant auction includes automated pouch-cell lines, cleanrooms and pack assembly systems

BidItUp Auctions Worldwide is set to auction equipment from a former lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Midland, Michigan, in a six-day live virtual sale running March 31, April 1-3 and April 7-8.

According to BidItUp, the equipment comes from a 400,000-square-foot battery plant that had been used for EV and energy storage applications. The company says the site includes Class 10,000 to Class 1,000 clean and dry rooms, integrated automated production lines, and high-volume pouch-cell manufacturing infrastructure.

Assets include automated battery module and pack assembly lines, cathode and anode slurry mixing systems, coating lines, formation and grading systems, and lab and QA equipment. BidItUp also says the plant includes largely symmetrical pouch-cell production systems with two parallel anode and cathode lines capable of both NMP-based and aqueous processing.

“This auction presents a unique chance for global manufacturers to immediately access advanced lithium-ion production infrastructure without the long lead times associated with building new facilities,” said BidItUp CEO Tara Shaikh.
