Raeon Secures Strategic Investment to Scale Custom Battery Manufacturing with Hidria

On February 16, Raeon, a United Kingdom-based custom battery manufacturer, announced a strategic investment partnership with Hidria, a European industrial technology company backed by Gonvarri Industries. The agreement strengthens custom battery manufacturing capabilities by combining advanced battery module innovation with established large-scale industrial production expertise. This strategic investment partnership is designed to accelerate the transition from low- and medium-volume battery modules to higher-volume production while maintaining technical flexibility and quality standards.

Strategic Investment Partnership to Expand Custom Battery Manufacturing

The strategic investment partnership between Raeon and Hidria enhances custom battery manufacturing by integrating specialised module design with scalable European production infrastructure. Raeon?s expertise in developing production-ready battery modules complements Hidria?s industrial capacity, enabling customers to move efficiently from prototype and pilot stages to commercial deployment.

By aligning engineering innovation with industrial execution, custom battery manufacturing can now support companies preparing to scale vehicle production. The collaboration ensures that optimised battery modules developed in the United Kingdom can transition seamlessly into higher-volume production across Europe.

FloLock Resin Encapsulation Technology Driving Flexible Battery Modules

At the core of Raeon?s custom battery manufacturing operations is its patent-pending FloLock resin encapsulation technology. This system enables the production of customised battery modules in low to medium volumes, typically ranging from 1 to 10,000 units per year. The technology is designed to accommodate different battery cell formats and chemistries, offering flexibility for diverse electrification programs.

Low- to Medium-Volume Production Capabilities

From its United Kingdom headquarters, Raeon delivers production-ready battery modules tailored to specific customer requirements. Custom battery manufacturing at this stage focuses on rapid adaptation, engineering validation, and scalable design architecture that can later support higher-volume production. FloLock resin encapsulation technology enhances structural integrity, thermal performance, and manufacturability.

• Compatibility with multiple battery cell formats
• Support for varied chemistries
• Production range from 1 to 10,000 units annually
• Optimised design for scalable higher-volume production

Seamless Transition to Higher-Volume Production in Europe

As demand for electrified vehicles increases, custom battery manufacturing must evolve to meet higher-volume production requirements. Under the strategic investment partnership, production can smoothly shift from Raeon?s United Kingdom facilities to Hidria?s large European manufacturing plants. These facilities already supply millions of components to OEMs, providing the infrastructure needed for industrial-scale battery modules manufacturing.

This phased scaling approach ensures that custom battery manufacturing remains agile during early deployment while offering a clear pathway to higher-volume production. The collaboration supports manufacturers seeking reliable battery modules supply as vehicle output expands across Europe.

By combining innovation in FloLock resin encapsulation technology with established European manufacturing strength, the strategic investment partnership positions custom battery manufacturing for sustainable growth and efficient higher-volume production across evolving electrification markets.
