Advanced Batteries
Powering the Next Generation of Battery Manufacturing Facilities
Advanced batteries and energy storage systems (ESS) are the key pace-setters for the world’s turn from fossil fuels to renewables. The demand and applicable technology are there, but consumers need greater performance and cost effectiveness before turning away from power sources such as the combustion engine or even the basic lithium-ion battery.
Alternative battery technologies and high-capacity, fast-charging energy storage systems are needed for everything from new electric vehicles and personal electronics to grid-scale utility systems and other critical infrastructure. Higher storage capacity, greater longevity, and lower costs aren’t negotiable for the industry, but these require innovation and scalability before they can be reflected across product offerings.
Most current battery and ESS manufacturing facilities aren’t set up for such a shift. This is why manufacturers around the globe are investing billions in new, state-of-the-art facilities equipped with efficient processes and advanced production equipment that can mass produce the next generation of renewable energy storage.
With expertise ranging from design and construction to process engineering and equipment fabrication, Gray is an ideal fit for these manufacturers. Whatever your scope includes, our integrated team of experts serves as a ready partner for battery and ESS manufacturers every step of the way. As companies across the industry rush to assemble the resources to boost EV production, improve battery range and lifespan, and develop lower-cost alternatives that harness the potential of more abundant elements such as carbon, hydrogen, and common metals, it is critical that they secure strong partners who can deliver facilities that leverage new methods and materials. Gray offers manufacturers a team with proven experience bringing large-scale, hypermodern operations online under aggressive schedules.

Battery Technology
End-to-End Partnership for Fast, Reliable Battery Plant Operations
The race to produce advanced battery technologies has never been faster or more competitive. You need a partner who understands the critical importance of making measurable progress every day. At Gray, we combine broad expertise with flexible project delivery to help bring your battery manufacturing facility to life faster than ever. It starts with design-build.
Integrating design and construction under one roof allows these two disciplines to overlap schedules and continuously collaborate. By starting construction earlier, streamlining the team, and consolidating risk with one trusted partner, you significantly shorten project timelines, protect your business against risk and cost escalation, and ensure quality across every phase. It’s why design-build is the fastest-growing project delivery method in the industry–and it was pioneered by Gray more than 30 years ago.
When you choose design-build with Gray, you can:
- Accelerate production by launching large-scale facilities on aggressive timelines to meet rising global demand
- Integrate technology with state-of-the-art process equipment and automation systems for high-volume, high-quality output
- Simplify execution by partnering with one coordinated team whose capabilities span engineering, construction, real estate, and specialty equipment
- Build for the future with flexible, sustainable operations that are created with safety, scalability, and future innovation in mind
Design-build’s advantages are especially relevant for the fast-growing battery sector. From site selection and permitting to cleanroom certification and final commissioning, your project benefits from a single trusted partner focused on helping you achieve your goals faster and gain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market.
Your facility’s success depends on precision at every step of the battery production lifecycle, from coating and layering to electrolyte filling to module and pack assembly Gray’s experts go beyond construction to help you integrate process systems, assembly automation, and quality control measures that ensure safe operations, production accuracy, and consistent quality.
