A European battery technology and manufacturing company has chosen Warwick for its first 海角视频 office as part of its global expansion plan.
Slovakia-headquartered start-up InoBat has launched an office at the University of Warwick Science Park's Warwick Innovation Centre.
The company, which designs, develops and manufactures advanced battery cells for electric vehicles, has a team of 60 staff, but has plans to scale-up quickly. Ten of its employees will be based at its new 海角视频 site.
Paul Hancock, chief financial officer of InoBat, said: "We're extremely pleased to launch our first 海角视频 office.
"The automotive industry has an incredibly strong presence in the Midlands, so it made sense for us to expand into the area.
"Warwick Innovation Centre provides us with a central location, with tier one original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) JLR, Rolls Royce, Arrival and Lotus as well as a number of other key industry businesses located nearby, and we will benefit from the region's strong supply chains. It will also help facilitate our 海角视频 growth plans."
Paul added: "The talent in the region is excellent and we are looking to recruit and build a team of capable and environmentally conscious minds that will helps us achieve our ambitious goals for a net zero environment in the near future."
