About

Founded in 2020, Verkor is a private headquartered in Grenoble, France with approximately 500-1000 employees specializing in Energy Storage.

Verkor is a European battery cell manufacturer founded in 2020 with a mission to accelerate large-scale industrialization of low-carbon lithium-ion batteries in Europe. The company operates two key facilities: the Verkor Innovation Centre in Grenoble (pilot production capacity 100-150 MWh/year) and the Gigafactory in Bourbourg (16 GWh/year initial capacity). Verkor's batteries are designed for electric vehicles, stationary energy storage, and off-road mobility. The company emphasizes digital manufacturing, sustainability, and European supply chain localization. Batteries produced in France have a carbon footprint 4-5 times lower than Chinese-produced batteries, enabled by France's low-carbon energy mix and vertical integration. Verkor has secured a 12-year nuclear power allocation agreement with EDF (33 MW) to support production. The company employs over 900 experts from 46 countries and is backed by major shareholders including InnoEnergy, Schneider Electric, Capgemini, Renault Group, and others.
