Swedish startup Enerpoly AB has recruited two former Northvolt executives and bought a production line from a bankrupt rival as it seeks to transform the mundane alkaline battery into an affordable option for the energy-storage industry.
The Stockholm-based company, founded in 2018, hopes to start production late this year or early 2025 having acquired machinery from the estate of defunct Nilar AB, Chief Executive Officer Eloisa de Castro said in an interview. The firm has also recruited the services of Northvolt AB alumni Annika Werneman and Emelie Tillegard as heads of production and industrialization, respectively.
