SK On is establishing a branch office in Tokyo, Japan.
According to SK On on April 21, the company is currently undergoing administrative procedures with the aim of establishing a Tokyo branch office between the end of April and early May. This branch will serve as an outpost for expanding collaboration with Japanese automakers such as Nissan and for exploring business opportunities in the energy storage system (ESS) sector.
This branch is not being set up as a separate legal entity, but rather as a local business office to serve as a sales base. The company explained that the establishment is intended to strengthen its ability to respond to customers within Japan.
Through this initiative, SK On plans to expand its business not only in electric vehicle batteries but also in the ESS sector, and to pursue new project orders. It is currently reported that the company is discussing battery and ESS collaboration opportunities with several Japanese companies.
An SK On representative stated, "By using the Japan branch as a base, we will be able to respond to customer demands more quickly and secure new orders."
