Singaporean lithium-ion battery manufacturer Durapower Technology Private Limited is exploring the creation of a production facility in the United States to strengthen its international presence. Already active in 25 countries across Europe and Asia, the company aims to develop local partnerships to establish this new site.

Durapower targets the North American market

Durapower will present its battery solutions at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo (ACT Expo) taking place in Anaheim, California, from 28 April to 1 May 2025. The goal is to attract partners for a joint venture project aimed at building a local factory. Kelvin Lim, Chief Executive Officer of Durapower Group, stated that now is the right time to expand into the United States, describing this market as strategic for the company’s future growth.

In parallel, Sanjay Bakshi, Group Director and Head of the North America market at Durapower, will participate in the SelectUSA Investment Summit in Washington, D.C., from 11 to 14 May 2025. This participation aims to strengthen business discussions with potential local players and increase the company’s visibility in the market.

Proven expertise in global electrification

Founded over 15 years ago, Durapower develops and manufactures battery cells as well as energy storage solutions based on lithium-ion technology. Its products are used across the electric mobility, maritime, specialised industrial, and stationary energy storage sectors.

To date, Durapower’s solutions have been deployed in several hundred vehicles, ships, and storage systems worldwide, accumulating over one billion electric kilometres travelled. The company operates multiple international production sites and reports maintaining a strong safety track record.
