ENPlus Signs Joint Research Agreement on Secondary Batteries with PNT

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] ENPLUS is joining hands with PNT, the No.1 domestic automation equipment specialist for secondary battery materials, to prepare for the mass production of next-generation battery materials. They have established a stable foundation for the operation of secondary battery material mass production plants.

ENPLUS announced on the 28th that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with PNT for joint research and development and sales of next-generation battery materials, parts, and equipment (SoBuJang).

PNT is a technology company specializing in roll-to-roll equipment for secondary batteries. Roll-to-roll equipment is widely used in advanced material fields such as secondary batteries, displays, and semiconductors.

With the recent growth of the secondary battery market, PNT supplies products not only to the three major domestic battery companies but also to over 20 countries worldwide. In the first quarter of this year, it surpassed a backlog of orders worth 1 trillion KRW for the first time. PNT will supply various manufacturing facilities necessary for the development of next-generation battery materials produced by ENPLUS in the future.

Starting from this agreement, they plan to cooperate on next-generation battery materials such as all-solid-state batteries and silicon batteries, as well as parts and equipment required for the production and development of these materials.

ENPLUS has been developing next-generation secondary batteries based on graphene materials since signing an MOU with the secondary battery venture Greenergy in March last year. In May, they also signed a supply contract worth 22.1 billion KRW with Greenergy for carbon nanotube (CNT) materials for secondary batteries.

ENPLUS obtained the highest grade 'V-0' flame retardant certification from the global safety certification authority UL (Underwriters Laboratory) for its self-developed battery explosion prevention material, the thermal gap filler.

An ENPLUS official said, "PNT is a company with outstanding capabilities in developing automation equipment for materials in various advanced industries including secondary batteries," adding, "Since both companies specialize in the secondary battery field, they will demonstrate strong business synergy."

He added, "With the mass production plant for secondary battery materials nearing completion, we will ensure that related matters are finalized as planned."
