  Led · Series B · Mar 2026

  Founded in 2019 in Kiel, Germany, UniverCell develops and produces lithium-ion battery cells and electrodes, emphasising high performance and specialised use cases. The company operates a gigafactory in northern Germany with production capacity that can scale beyond 1.5 GWh and currently employs more than 82 people. Its in-house mastery of electrode manufacturing and cell assembly includes 21700 cylindrical cells with a tabless design, lightweight aluminium housings, and a process-stable formation step that drives battery performance. A key differentiator is its industrial dry-coating process, which reduces energy consumption, chemical usage and CO₂ emissions while improving energy density, charging capability and cycle life. All anodes and cathodes are produced internally, enabling high reproducibility, low scrap rates and quick changeovers for customer-specific projects. Looking ahead, UniverCell intends to leverage new capital to expand production capacity further and refine its proprietary electrode and cell technologies, reinforcing Europe’s independent and sustainable battery supply chain.
