Forsee Power inaugurates factory in Ohio

The French battery system manufacturer Forsee Power has opened its North American headquarters in the Columbus area in the US state of Ohio, including a production facility and research and development department.

Forsee Power plans to produce eight different models of battery systems at the US site announced in 2022 and intended to achieve a capacity of 3 GWh by 2028. With the facility, Foresee plans to serve the North American market, while optimizing the local supply chain and meeting the requirements of the U.S. federal vehicle funding programme.

The French company also notes that it duplicated its production lines from Europe and Asia to get production rolling more quickly. “In addition, the Group is working on adapting new solutions specific to the American market.”

“The opening of our new production site in Ohio is a crucial step in our expansion strategy in North America,” said Christophe Gurtner, Chairman and CEO of Forsee Power, adding: “Perfectly aligned with the US 2030 plan to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, our expertise and our ability to innovate in zero-emission solutions position us as a key player in supporting the decarbonization of transportation in North America.”
