ACC – Automotive Cells Company is a European manufacturer of lithium‑ion battery cells and modules for electric vehicles. Established in 2020 as a joint venture by TotalEnergies/Saft and Stellantis, the company later welcomed Mercedes‑Benz as an equal partner. ACC’s mission is to develop and industrialize automotive‑grade battery technologies that support the electrification strategies of European carmakers, while strengthening regional supply security.
ACC operates an integrated value chain spanning cell design, pilot production, and large‑scale manufacturing, with a growing network of gigafactories in Europe. The company focuses on high‑performance chemistries and robust quality, safety, and environmental standards across its operations. Its sourcing policies emphasize responsible procurement of critical materials and the development of recycling capabilities to reduce lifecycle impacts and support a circular battery ecosystem.
Also known as Chemical Manufacturers' Association and Manufacturing Chemists' Association.
chemXplore tracks 4 projects involving ACC.
ACC's role on them: Owner, Operator, Developer, and Offtaker.
Geismar unit cut energy use by deploying advanced process control (APC), earning the ACC's Responsible Care 2026 Energy Efficiency Award.
Neutral trial. 30‑min Impella improved pre‑PCI TIMI flow. Age 61+ trended smaller infarcts. More bleeding/vascular events but no higher 12‑month mortality. Elevated lactate predicted larger infarcts.
The first production unit will be operational by end of 2023. The factory will create 2,000 jobs by 2030, recycle 90% of its waste, and source materials responsibly.
Phase one construction is nearly complete, with equipment assembly underway. The factory, a €340M investment, will produce lithium-ion battery separators to meet European market demand.
The factory, focused on lithium-ion battery separators, is progressing as planned with strong local support, creating 440 jobs. Initial hiring targets administrative staff and technicians.
The Termoli plant will be transformed into a battery facility, increasing capacity to 120 GWh by 2030. This supports Stellantis' goal of 5M annual EV sales and 400 GWh battery capacity.
A joint venture will develop EV batteries in Europe, starting with a pilot plant in 2021. The project aims for large-scale production by 2030, supported by €1.3 billion in public funding.
