Specialty materials for batteries, filtration, and thermal insulation
Alkegen manufactures filtration media, battery materials, and thermal insulation for EV and energy applications across 60 global facilities. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward manufacturing operations (SAP SCM, MES, CMMS) and quality control (Six Sigma, FMEA, 8D), reflecting a vertically integrated production footprint. Active hiring is concentrated in manufacturing roles, with smaller engineering and sales functions — typical of a capital-intensive materials business scaling production capacity rather than product development.
