Myungseong TNS and Jenax Sign Patent Sharing and Business Agreement Related to Secondary Batteries

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Secondary battery manufacturing equipment company Myungseong TNS is embarking on the development of next-generation secondary battery manufacturing technology using ultra-fine metal fiber ‘Metal Fiber’.

Myungseong TNS announced that on the 29th, it signed a “Patent Sharing and Business Agreement for Next-Generation Secondary Battery Business” with Jenax at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Seoul.

According to the business agreement, Myungseong TNS will utilize the Metal Fiber technology owned by Jenax to develop next-generation secondary battery manufacturing technology. They plan to collaborate across the entire spectrum including product production and sales.

Metal Fiber is an ultra-fine metal fiber developed by Jenax. It processes stainless steel sheets to one-tenth the thickness of a human hair, enabling the creation of secondary batteries in various shapes. Jenax succeeded in mass-producing prototypes of flexible batteries (J.Flex) using Metal Fiber.

Myungseong TNS plans to sign a main contract to acquire joint usage rights for secondary battery-related patents owned by Jenax and pay technology transfer fees.

Lee Yongjin, CEO of Myungseong TNS, said, “Jenax is the only company in Korea that possesses battery manufacturing technology utilizing Metal Fiber,” adding, “Through cooperation, we will establish next-generation secondary battery manufacturing technology to improve design work and increase production efficiency.”

Kim Changhyun, Head of New Business Development at Jenax, emphasized, “Battery manufacturing technology using Metal Fiber can dramatically improve battery performance and safety not only for secondary batteries using gel electrolytes but also those using non-flammable electrolytes.”

He also stated, “The collaboration between the two companies with excellent technological capabilities is expected to serve as an opportunity to establish competitive technology in overseas markets.”
