Enerdel Partners

Strategic Alliances

Through its parent company Ener1, EnerDel places particular importance on its strategic alliances, which enable the company and its subsidiaries to build upon existing technology and manufacturing platforms. Strategic allies in research, development and manufacturing include Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), ITOCHU Corporation, and Kyushu Electric Power (KEPCO).

EnerDel and ANL were recently awarded the R&D100 Award for excellence in technology and innovative design.

ITOCHU Corporation is a long-term strategic partner and seed investor in Ener1. In addition to being the company's sales and marketing partner in Asia, ITOCHU is also the largest global reseller of manufacturing equipment for lithium-ion battery production, providing EnerDel with unique access to specialized equipment and material markets.

KEPCO, the fourth-largest publicly traded power and utility company in Japan, is working with EnerDel to create and manufacture rapid recharging systems for electric vehicles.
