Integrating High Pressure and Automation for Next-Gen Battery Production

Quintus Technologies is pleased to announce that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Strategic Partnership has been signed with Guangdong Lyric Robot Automation Co., Ltd. ("Lyric Robot") to develop integrated manufacturing solutions that combine Quintus' industry-leading isostatic press technology with Lyric's advanced automation expertise for the rapidly advancing all-solid-state battery (ASSB) sector.

As the solid-state battery market evolves from early-stage demonstration toward pilot-line scale-up and high-volume industrialization, manufacturers face growing demands for higher energy density, enhanced consistency, and uncompromising safety. The partnership between Quintus and Lyric reflects a shared commitment to delivering scalable, reliable, and efficient solutions that support this transition.

"By combining our Quintus high-pressure platform with Lyric's automation expertise and extensive production-line experience, we can support customers investing in both pilot-line development and full-scale industrialization." Johan Hjärne, CEO of Quintus Technologies

As part of the collaboration, the two companies plan to jointly explore technical development programs that integrate Quintus isostatic press equipment with Lyric's automation capabilities to create customer-specific solutions for automated ASSB manufacturing. This work may include joint engineering studies, proof-of-concept trials, system integration tests and the cooperative development of technical proposals and specifications for customer projects that leverage the strengths of both companies. These efforts complement Quintus broader battery-press development strategy and its larger pilot-press initiatives which provide customers with access to advanced densification technologies at industrial scale. Together, these initiatives accelerate learning cycles, validate material performance and support the transition from R&D to full industrialization.

In addition to the technical collaboration, both parties will jointly develop marketing initiatives to showcase their combined capabilities in solid-state battery manufacturing and automation highlighting high-pressure densification integrated with intelligent automation.

"We strongly believe in the future of solid-state battery production and in the critical role that high-pressure densification plays in enabling consistent, safe, and high-performance cells," said Johan Hjärne, CEO of Quintus Technologies AB. "By combining Quintus high-pressure platform with Lyric's automation expertise and extensive production-line experience, we can support customers investing in both pilot-line development and full-scale industrialization."

"Isostatic pressing technology, as a critical process in the large-scale production of solid-state batteries, plays a decisive role in enhancing battery energy density, consistency, and safety," said Dr. Du Yixian, Dean of the Research Institute, Lyric Robot. "This collaboration with Quintus will deeply integrate Quintus high-pressure technology with Lyric's battery-process expertise and intelligent design capabilities. Together, we will co-develop automated manufacturing system solutions tailored for solid-state batteries, supported by Lyric's internationally localized service model that creates lasting value for global customers."
