Charged EVs | Morrow begins battery cell deliveries to Proventia as Norwegian production scales up
Morrow Batteries has started delivering lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells to Finnish technology company Proventia, as Morrow ramps up production for industrial customers at its battery cell factory in Arendal, Norway.
Morrow is making the deliveries under a long-term agreement to supply prismatic LFP cells for Proventia’s battery modules and packs used in off-highway and industrial applications. The agreement runs through 2031 and allows for the future inclusion of additional cell chemistries as they become commercially available.
Proventia expects to begin its first customer deliveries of batteries using Morrow’s cells in the first half of this year. Morrow will continue to increase its production capacity In the coming months, and further stabilize and optimize its manufacturing processes.
The collaboration with Proventia combines cell supply with close technical cooperation, including optimization at module and pack level, validation work, and a shared focus on performance and reliability in demanding operating environments, Morrow said.
“This is an important milestone for Morrow. At the same time, the situation remains challenging, and there are no shortcuts to building stable and competitive battery production. It takes time to scale up production, improve processes, and consistently deliver the quality our customers expect. In Arendal, we are now producing cells that are being put into use by customers with high requirements for quality, performance and reliability of supply,” said Jon Fold von Bülow, Acting CEO of Morrow.
“Access to battery cells produced in Europe is becoming increasingly important for our customers, both from a supply security perspective and for future competitiveness,” added Jari Granath, Product Manager of Proventia. “Working with Morrow gives us a strong technology partner with the flexibility and industrial mindset needed to support demanding customer projects.”
