The lab can also address the needs of battery cell manufacturers.
“Our new location in Germany provides us with access to the region’s deep engineering talent and places us close to many of our key European customers,” said Jennifer Scanlon, president and CEO of UL Solutions.
The new laboratory replaces a smaller leased facility that was part of UL Solutions’ 2024 acquisition of battery testing and simulation company BatterieIngenieure. That acquisition significantly increased UL Solutions’ capacity for conducting tests, advanced simulations and in-depth failure analysis of battery technologies. A key strength of the new facility is its capability for estimating battery lifespans.
The new facility is strategically located in North Rhine-Westphalia and is UL Solutions’ first in the EU solely focused on comprehensive battery testing services.
