Jeil M&S Expands Secondary Battery Mixing Equipment Production Capacity by 160%

Jeil M&S, a specialized company in secondary battery mixing design (CEO Lee Hyowon, Lee Youngjin), announced on the 8th that it has expanded its mixing equipment production facilities through the opening of Gimhae Plant 3.

The newly opened Gimhae Plant 3 is located next to Plants 1 and 2, which were opened last year. The factory size has also been expanded to about 1.5 times larger than the existing Plants 1 and 2, securing mixing equipment production and assembly facilities expanded by approximately 160%.

Through this expansion, Jeil M&S plans to respond to the surging demand for mixing equipment as well as the expected demand in the global secondary battery market, which is growing at an average annual rate of 18.5%. In fact, Jeil M&S's order backlog has been breaking records every year, and with the steady growth of the secondary battery market, these order achievements are expected to continue.

In addition, Jeil M&S has secured additional production facilities to proactively respond to the increasing orders. Last year, it expanded a new office building at its headquarters in Icheon, converting the former main building into a mixing equipment production space. Currently, there are two production buildings for mixing equipment at the Icheon headquarters, both of which are in operation. With the operation of Gimhae Plant 3 and the two production buildings at the Icheon headquarters, Jeil M&S plans to continue its order rally.

Established in 1981, Jeil M&S is a mixing equipment specialist company with about 40 years of experience. Starting with supplying specialized equipment for food and pharmaceuticals, it now operates in secondary batteries, defense, and chemicals. Especially, Jeil M&S was the first to enter the secondary battery mixing business field and has the advantage of being able to provide everything from raw material supply to mixing equipment line construction. Currently, Jeil M&S counts the three major domestic battery cell companies as well as Northvolt in Europe as its key clients, and is seeking high growth through gradual expansion into overseas markets.

Jeil M&S’s main business is secondary battery mixing equipment, which is used in the ‘electrode process,’ the first step in the battery manufacturing process. The electrode process is the stage of making the battery’s cathode and anode, where materials necessary for battery production are mixed in a certain ratio. The equipment used at this stage is mixing equipment, which Jeil M&S manufactures and produces, and also directly designs the production lines.

Lee Youngjin, CEO of Jeil M&S, stated, “Based on the expansion of Gimhae Plant 3 and the secured space at the Icheon headquarters, we will be able to respond to the surging market demand. As our 40 years of long-standing experience shows, we plan to lead the secondary battery mixing equipment market through the trust we have built in the industry and our differentiated turnkey mixing equipment solutions.”
