Kautex Textron has secured an agreement to supply its Pentatonic battery enclosure system to an unnamed automotive OEM for a multi-vehicle hybrid platform. North American production is scheduled to begin in 2028.

The agreement includes the full battery enclosure system—top cover, bottom tray and thermal management—which is manufactured using what Kautex describes as a highly automated production concept.

The Pentatonic line is Kautex’s thermoplastic composite and composite-metal hybrid battery enclosure portfolio, developed for scalable production across multiple vehicle programs on a shared platform.

“Through advanced automation and production, we are driving efficiency, quality and innovation to support our customers’ electrification strategies,” said Joerg Rautenstrauch, President and CEO of Kautex.
