About the company

To accomplish this, we do things differently. We design, manufacture, and recycle everything under one roof. We even build our own factories.

We’re constantly experimenting, learning and adapting to make batteries so great – they will one day make oil history.
Northvolt is growing fast. We’re staffing our international office in Stockholm, our R&D facility, Northvolt Labs, in Västerås, as well as our Gdansk facility for production of battery systems.
