Its main activities include operating state-of-the-art battery cell plants that produce pouch-style NCMA cells, LFP cells for stationary storage, and upcoming LMR prismatic cells. Facilities feature flexible manufacturing lines capable of multiple form factors and chemistries, emphasizing sustainability through scrap recycling, water conservation, and reduced cobalt usage.

Ultium Cells operates primary manufacturing sites in Warren, Ohio, and Spring Hill, Tennessee, with a staff support office in Troy, Michigan. The plants have benefited from substantial investments exceeding several billion dollars, including a $2.5 billion U.S. Department of Energy loan, and are projected to create thousands of jobs while enhancing domestic supply chain capabilities.

As a key player in the battery industry, the company supplies cells primarily to General Motors for its EV models but also supports other automotive and energy partners. It positions itself as a leader in scalable, adaptable battery production essential for the growing EV market.
