As we roll into 2025, Europe’s battery manufacturing sector is buzzing with excitement. With electrification on the rise, gigafactories are popping up everywhere, driving the shift towards cleaner energy and greener transport. But running a successful battery factory isn’t just about getting your hands on the latest tech. No, it’s also about scaling up your operations smoothly, minimising downtime, making sure your equipment arrives in one piece, and keeping everything as sustainable as possible along the way.
The new year offers you a chance to streamline processes, upgrade equipment, and rethink your facility’s operations, but making changes in the battery manufacturing world demands careful planning, as precision and speed are critical.
And that’s where AIS Eurelo comes in.
We’re not just about machinery relocation services; we’re about making complex industrial processes feel manageable. Whether it’s heavy machinery relocation, installing new lines, or reconfiguring existing setups, we help battery manufacturers turn challenges into opportunities.
So, with that in mind, here are a few tips to set the stage for a smooth start to your year.
Planning for a seamless start to 2025
- Start early: The earlier you can map out timelines and priorities, the easier it is to address potential problems. Think logistics, manpower, and compliance—getting it all on paper can save you some huge headaches later on in the project
- Trust the experts: Industrial relocations aren’t the time to take chances, especially when dealing with the high-value, sensitive equipment used in gigafactories. Partnering with specialists like AIS Eurelo means you’ll have a team that understands the challenges and has the right equipment to ensure everything runs smoothly
- Focus on minimal downtime: Every minute counts in manufacturing, so the right equipment relocation solutions will ensure your operations resume quickly, with zero hiccups.
Now, that’s great advice (even if we do say so ourselves), but what gives us the authority to provide it? Well, it just so happens that we have some impressive experience to draw from in this sector, across Europe and beyond…
Experience that speaks volumes
We’ve been at the forefront of delivering many large-scale battery factory projects across Europe, showcasing unparalleled expertise in heavy machinery relocation, complex equipment handling, robot installations, and cleanroom installations.
In France, we played a critical role in equipping two gigafactories with specialised battery equipment, including stacking lines, packing lines, and cathode/anode coating systems. These projects required precision and coordination, with our team executing intricate electrical installations and control panel wiring under strict timelines.
Meanwhile, in Hungary, we tackled decommissioning and new installations at major gigafactory sites for one of the world’s biggest electronics companies. Whether dismantling and packing complex machinery for relocation or assembling cutting-edge coating lines in cleanroom environments, our skilled workforce rose to the occasion. With dedicated teams of fitters, electricians, and project managers, we ensured every piece of high-value equipment was handled and installed with precision.
The AIS Eurelo team also successfully delivered large-scale equipment installations and relocations in Belgium as part of a wider effort to support the EV sector’s rapid growth. These projects included handling specialised machinery and overcoming logistical challenges unique to the region.
But our expertise goes beyond technical skills. We developed a strong ability to navigate cultural differences when working with Asian OEM supervisors, ensuring smooth communication and proactive pre-planning. Visiting factory sites in Korea gave us valuable hands-on experience with the equipment, helping us spot potential challenges early and keep projects running smoothly.
With a focus on safety, scalability, and sustainability, we continue to lead the way in delivering solutions that meet the rigorous demands of the EV and battery manufacturing sectors.
What we’ve learned that will help you
Because of this varied experience, we’ve developed a highly skilled workforce with a strong focus on EV-specific expertise at all levels, from fitters and engineers to site and project managers.
And, with hands-on experience with specialised battery equipment, including slitting lines, calendaring lines, and laser welding cells, our technical mastery of battery factory equipment can’t be disputed.
Whether it’s coordinating multi-contractor sites across multicultural teams, ensuring stakeholders are informed of the project’s progress, or handling sensitive equipment, we continue to drive results for our clients across Europe and beyond.
Why choose AIS Eurelo?
To summarise, here’s what makes us the go-to team for machinery relocation services:
