Morrow signs first defense contract - delivers battery cells to German customer

Norwegian battery manufacturer Morrow Batteries has signed its first agreement within the defense industry. The company will deliver battery cells to an unnamed German defense company. The contract follows a twelve-month testing program where Morrow's battery cells were compared with established international manufacturers. According to the company, the evaluation showed that the Norwegian-produced cells meet the requirements for performance and reliability for safety-critical applications. The initial delivery will be used in the customer's product development and qualification program. Morrow emphasizes that the battery technology has also been tested in collaboration with Nordic Batteries, where the cells were integrated into systems used during NATO exercises in northern Norway. Tests have been conducted, among other places, at NATO's test facility Heimdal, where equipment is evaluated under Arctic conditions. According to the company, the demand for European battery production is growing, not least within the defense and infrastructure sectors where supply chains and access to critical technology are gaining increased importance. At the same time, Morrow points to challenges linked to scaling up battery cell production in Europe, despite technical advances and new business deals
