Following the 2025 acquisition of New Era, this company now offers a complete, continuous battery-manufacturing solution that combines web handling, coating, calendering and double-belt pressing in a single scalable workflow. The integrated approach addresses one of the battery industry’s key challenges: connecting multiple process steps into a seamless, high-throughput production line. Electrode materials can be prepared and processed continuously before entering this company’s double-belt press systems, where precisely controlled pressure and temperature are applied to densify, consolidate and laminate multi-layer electrode structures. The result is a comprehensive manufacturing platform for both dry-electrode and solid-state battery production, where strong interlayer bonding, effective densification and consistent product quality are essential to achieving reliable cell performance at scale. — IPCO AB, Sandviken, Sweden
