The UL Solutions expanded testing center would add to current
capacity and services in the region to help meet the growing needs
of the automotive sector.
UL Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ULS), a global leader in applied safety
science, today announced plans to construct a new Advanced
Automotive and Battery Testing Center in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do,
Korea, expanding current UL Solutions battery testing capacity in
the region and adding electric vehicle (EV) charger testing and
other capabilities.
To serve customers across the Asia Pacific region, the center,
expected to open in the second half of 2025, will help strengthen
Korea’s EV industry, respond to increased demand from new and
existing customers, and provide faster access to safety and
performance testing and other services.
“The global transition to sustainable energy has driven
innovation in the automotive industry, which can be seen clearly in
Korea and across Asia,” said Jennifer Scanlon, president and CEO of
UL Solutions, who visited Governor Kim Dong-yeon of Gyeonggi
Province during a recent trip to Korea. “Innovation cannot succeed
without safety, and we are pleased to work closely with automakers
and other customers as together we build an industry that is safer,
more secure, and more sustainable.”
The new facility, construction of which is subject to local
government approvals, including zoning, will provide expanded EV
battery testing capacity. This laboratory will leverage the
technology used in the recently opened UL Solutions Korea Advanced
Battery Laboratory in Pyeongtaek to test for reliability and
performance. Plans also include an EV charger testing laboratory
and an EV battery material laboratory. In addition, the center will
be built to test automotive plastic safety, including flammability
and performance, with technology in use in UL Solutions in the
U.S.
The Advanced Automotive and Battery Testing Center will add to
the capacity now available at the existing Pyeongtaek facility and
will complement other UL Solutions battery testing capabilities and
facilities globally, including the UL Solutions E-Mobility and
Energy Laboratory in Changzhou, China, BatterieIngenieure by UL
Solutions in Aachen, Germany, and the UL Solutions North America
Advanced Battery Laboratory under construction in Auburn Hills,
Michigan, U.S.
