The lithium-ion battery market is growing faster than almost any other sector, driven by electric vehicles, consumer electronics and storage for renewable energy. The global battery market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 18% from 2021 to 2026. Anyone producing batteries in this market has to design the factory for efficiency, sustainability and cost from the start.
We support battery factories across their full life cycle: project strategy and contracting, project execution management and scheduling, factory and logistics design, and supplier evaluation and award.
Project strategy and contracting
It starts with a sound strategy. Which steps turn the idea of a battery business into a factory? We plan those steps with you and carry them out. One focus is Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). IPD contracts make the construction process considerably more efficient, lower costs and encourage innovation in the project. The Project Delivery System (PDS) framework brings together all major elements required for successful project implementation.
Project management and scheduling
The more complex a project, the more demanding its management. We coordinate project tasks, resolve difficulties and keep your project on track. That includes a realistic schedule that accounts for every relevant factor and reduces the risk of delays and cost overruns.
Factory and logistics design
We develop with you a digital, flexible production system that can adapt to changing market requirements and technologies. In the factory layout we focus on efficient use of space and maximum value creation: a flowing material and product stream, an optimised production process, less waste.
Supplier evaluation and award
The choice of suppliers is part of what decides a project’s success. We evaluate suppliers on whether they fit your corporate goals and philosophy, and we favour long-term partnerships that support sustainable development and innovation. Together with you we develop a supplier evaluation procedure and monitor supplier performance continuously so that the agreed terms are kept.
With industry-specific know-how and methods for raising efficiency, we help you improve the value creation of your battery production continuously. In doing so we support the green transformation of business and mobility.
