Sweden’s Echandia, a provider of advanced maritime battery systems, has announced the establishment of a new production facility in Washington State, USA.

The move is in direct response to the surging demand for electrification solutions within America’s maritime industry.

The company’s cutting-edge battery system, known for its safety, durability, and performance, will be manufactured at the new facility. Echandia’s decision to expand its operations to the US is underpinned by the growing recognition among government bodies, shipowners, and operators of the compelling economic and environmental advantages of transitioning away from fossil fuels.
