ProLogium Technology, a global leader in solid-state battery innovation, inaugurated its Taoke factory, marking a significant milestone in the battery industry. The event, attended by esteemed guests including Chief Secretary of Ministry of Economic Affairs Chih-Ching Yang, the Director of the French Office in Taipei Franck Paris, and Taoyuan City Mayor Shan-zheng Zhang, along with a French delegation from Dunkirk, celebrated the opening of the world’s pioneering Giga-scale solid-state lithium ceramic battery facility. Key strategic partners, including Mercedes-Benz, POSCO, FEV, Arkema, and banks from both Taiwan and France, were also present to witness this historic moment.
A highlight of the event was the unveiling of 106Ah solid-state battery manufactured with high-silicon anode at the facility, designed for electric vehicles. ProLogium not only showcased its proprietary manufacturing technology for solid-state batteries but also highlighted the commercial viability of the next-generation battery structure.
“After 17 years of dedicated effort, ProLogium is thrilled to present next-generation solid-state batteries to the world. The Time is Now,” said Vincent Yang, the founder and CEO of ProLogium. “Our journey has been a testament to overcoming existing technological barriers and innovating new structures, leading to a fundamental transformation in cell structure and process design. We have overcome the bottlenecks in traditional batteries and this breakthrough combines performance, cost efficiency, and resource circulation, manifesting a new universe for the battery industry. Looking ahead, ProLogium is set to globally promote the achievements of the Taoke factory, propelling the industrialization of solid-state batteries and supporting global automakers and governments in their quest for net-zero emissions.”
Since late 2023, the facility has commenced production and plans to distribute high-capacity solid-state batteries for electric vehicles worldwide. This facility is not only a demonstration factory for future global expansion, particularly in Dunkirk, France, but also a significant contributor to the local economy in Taoyuan, potentially creating 1,200 jobs.
Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Chih-Ching Yang stated: “I am very pleased to participate in today’s grand opening of the new Taoke Plant, witnessing a milestone in solid-state battery technology. The Ministry of Economic Affairs pays significant attention to the domestic and international deployment of ProLogium. The most important thing for a company is to maximize its investment value, which involves establishing a demonstration plant. The materials, processes and economic benefits of ProLogium’s solid-state batteries will be demonstrated at the Taoke Plant, and then ProLogium may expand these achievements globally and connect with the global supply chain. We eagerly anticipate these outcomes and look forward to the flourishing development of ProLogium. ”
Taoyuan City Mayor Shan-zheng Zhang said: “I am delighted that ProLogium has selected Taoyuan Science Park as its base. Our city’s industry, technology, and land provide plenty of opportunities for ProLogium to excel. The next step for ProLogium is to expand globally, with France being the first stop. This move is an excellent choice for both industrial development and achieving net-zero carbon emissions. I am thrilled to witness such a milestone with everyone and extend my congratulations to both ProLogium and France on this new beginning. ”
In addition, among ProLogium’s patented technologies, there are hundreds of techniques designed with the goal of improving product yield, covering cell structure and process design. In terms of cell structure, ProLogium’s original “Logithium™” structure and corresponding process have successfully improved the potential yield issue of solid-state batteries, and greatly enhanced the accuracy of alignment and cathode and anode attaching during the manufacturing process. Currently, the company has achieved a yield target of 99.9% for single-layer cells on the trial production line, and the Taoke factory continues to optimize yield based on this goal.
