About Us
Who We Are
Building critical national capability to manufacture high-performance lithium-ion battery cells in the UK — for applications where reliability, resilience and control are non-negotiable.
The Challenge
The supply chains behind electrification are fragile
Electrification is accelerating across every major industry, but the supply chains behind it are fragile, opaque and difficult to control. As demand increases, so does the risk.
This is the challenge we're here to solve.
01
Fragile Supply Chains
Dependency on a small number of overseas manufacturers creates systemic risk — from geopolitical disruption to logistics delays that can halt programmes at critical moments.
02
Lack of Transparency
Opaque supply chains make it difficult to verify origin, ensure compliance or build the traceability that defence, regulatory and ESG requirements increasingly demand.
03
Growing Demand, Growing Risk
As electrification scales, the gap between global cell demand and resilient, sovereign supply widens — exposing programmes to uncertainty at precisely the moment reliability matters most.
What We Do
High-performance cells, manufactured in the UK
Volklec is building critical national capability to manufacture high-performance lithium-ion battery cells in the UK. We work with customers who need more than just performance — they need supply certainty and a partner they can depend on.
Proven Cell Technology
Our 21700 lithium-ion cells are manufactured under exclusive licence from an established Asian manufacturer active since 2009 — combining proven chemistry with UK production and control.
Sovereign UK Supply
Manufacturing anchored at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) in Coventry — providing customers with a genuinely domestic, origin-compliant source of high-performance cells.
A Partner You Can Depend On
We work with customers who need more than a commodity supplier — offering deep technical collaboration, long-term supply commitment and the kind of support that only a dedicated partner provides.
Our Approach
Delivering today, building for tomorrow
Available Now
Immediate Capability
Our pragmatic approach combines proven global expertise with immediate production capability. We have cells available now for rapid validation and integration — giving customers access to high-performance, UK-associated supply from day one, without waiting for greenfield infrastructure to come online.
