Zurich-based Libattion provides large-scale stationary energy storage systems made from used and surplus EV batteries. The company has opened a new battery upcycling production facility in Biberist, near Zurich. The new plant is designed for an annual capacity of 500 MWh by 2026, and has the potential to scale up to 1 GWh.

The 7,000-square-meter facility relies on a high degree of automation, enabling large-scale battery storage production. The production site is located on the same premises as the Swiss battery recycling company Librec, creating regional synergies along the supply chain.

The modular storage systems produced at the site range in capacity from 97 kWh to 60 MWh.

“The demand for energy storage solutions continues to grow, and reusing EV batteries as stationary energy storage units unlocks huge potential for the European storage market,” says Stefan Bahamonde, CEO and co-founder of Libattion. “Our new production hall allows us to respond flexibly to market demands while making a significant contribution to conserving resources in Europe. Thanks to automation, we can operate not only efficiently but also economically, and precisely scale our capacity to match demand.”

Safety is a top priority: every battery undergoes a thorough inspection process. Multi-layered safety systems and continuous monitoring throughout the battery’s lifecycle ensure reliable and secure operation. “Safety is paramount in our systems. Through automated production and strict quality controls, we can guarantee the highest safety standards for every storage unit,” Bahamonde adds.
