The event recognized Unifrax’s ongoing partnership with the
State of Indiana and St. Joseph County, along with SiFAB’s
continued progress.
Unifrax executives, along with the SiFAB manufacturing team and
local and state government officials, kicked off the ceremony at 10
a.m. EDT at the New Carlisle, IN plant, with remarks by John
Dandolph, president and CEO, Unifrax.
“Through the support of the State of Indiana and St. Joseph
County, we have the ability to leverage our existing New Carlisle
facility and add new infrastructure to significantly accelerate the
timeline for supplying SiFAB to our customers,” said Dandolph.
“It’s a joint effort that we wish to celebrate. And with recent
data showcasing SiFAB’s positive results, we’re on track to
delivering a technology that can be used in existing processes
around the world to help transform the battery industry as we know
it.”
The SiFAB manufacturing line was officially announced in June
2021, and earlier this month, Unifrax released data following
advanced testing of SiFAB, demonstrating promising performance in
multiple battery systems in addition to successful application in
roll-to-roll processes in standard manufacturing scenarios.
The new line is slated to create up to 20 jobs by the end 2022,
with additional growth anticipated by the end of 2023.
