HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – LG Chem in Holland is building a 100,000 square-foot addition at the company’s Holland battery cell manufacturing plant.
The new building will expand upon the company’s recent growth into battery pack assembly with multiple assembly lines.
“We’re associated with the 2017 Chevrolet Volt with sales breaking record numbers in December. Of course we also build the batteries and the pack for the Pacifica Chrysler Hybrid minivan that was named utility van of the year. The more you see with OEM’s (original equipment manufacturers) with hybrid technology, LG Chem is available and willing to grow.” LG Chem President Nick Kassanos told WHTC News.
150 new jobs are expected to be created in Holland in the years ahead and LG Chem plans to break ground on the new addition in March and occupy the space by August 2017.
LG Chem Michigan Inc. (LGCMI) manufactures large lithium-ion polymer batteries for electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage applications.
