## Company facts

- Founded 2021
- Series A funded
- ~25 people across London and Brackley
- ISO 9001 accredited
- Customers across the UK and US
- Ideal customer profile: vehicle manufacturers producing 100 to 10,000 units per model per year, where off-the-shelf battery packs compromise vehicle performance, packaging, or economics

## What sets IONETIC apart

- A single integrated technology partner from concept to production to aftersales, replacing the traditional split of separate design, engineering, and manufacturing suppliers
- Pre-validated hardware architectures that remove the most expensive and time-consuming phases of ground-up battery pack development
- Chemistry-agnostic design system supporting LFP, LMFP, NMC, and NCA, with the ability to swap chemistries without redesigning the pack
- Capital-efficient path to bespoke battery packs, traditionally an eight to nine figure Tier 1 programme cost, delivered at a fraction of the time and price
- Software-accelerated design: the Pack Design Engine generates production-ready pack configurations in minutes rather than months
