AESC manufactures lithium-ion cells across multiple chemistries (LFP, NCM/MCA) and formats for automotive and stationary storage. With 14,000+ staff across six countries and a manufacturing footprint spanning Japan, US, UK, France, Spain, and China, the company is operationally complex—evidenced by heavy SAP/S/4HANA deployment, MES integration, and active work on job architecture standardization and scalable contracting. Engineering dominates hiring (22 of 53 active roles), reflecting the capital-intensity of cell-line construction and ramp-up; cited pain points cluster around downtime reduction, maintenance efficiency, and SAP implementation, signaling ongoing digital transformation across a legacy manufacturing base.
AESC designs and manufactures high-performance battery cells for zero-emission electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. The company has powered over one million EVs and deployed over 50GWh of installed ESS capacity globally. Revenue streams come from tier-one automotive OEMs (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Renault) and energy developers (Envision, Fluence, Nidec). Operations span six continental gigafactories; the production stack includes Siemens automation (NX CAD, TIA Portal), SAP/S/4HANA for ERP, MES for shop-floor control, and advanced QMS frameworks (IATF 16949, APQP, PPAP). Current priorities are utility-scale ESS system delivery, production-line scale-up, and enterprise process optimization.
AESC operates gigafactories in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and China, serving automotive and energy storage markets across six continents.
AESC produces lithium-ion cells in LFP and NCM/MCA chemistries, available in pouch, cylindrical, and prismatic form factors for EVs and grid energy storage.
