Morrow begins cell deliveries to Proventia as Arendal production scales up
Morrow Batteries has started delivering lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells to Finnish technology company Proventia, marking an important milestone as Morrow ramps up production for industrial customers at its battery cell factory in Arendal, Norway.
The deliveries are made under a long-term Master Supply Agreement through which Morrow supplies prismatic LFP cells for Proventia’s battery modules and packs used in demanding off-highway and industrial applications.
Representatives from Proventia visited Arendal this week to review production progress and further strengthen the companies’ ongoing collaboration.
“Access to battery cells produced in Europe is becoming increasingly important for our customers, both from a supply security perspective and for future competitiveness,”said Jari Granath, Product Manager of Proventia. “Working with Morrow gives us a strong technology partner with the flexibility and industrial mindset needed to support demanding customer projects. We are pleased to see production progressing in Arendal and look forward to bringing these cells into customer applications.”
Morrow is in a challenging phase, operating in a market where intense competition, falling prices and high industrialisation requirements make the path to profitable production demanding. At the same time, the collaboration with Proventia combines cell supply with close technical cooperation, including optimisation at module and pack level, validation work, and a shared focus on performance and reliability in demanding operating environments.
“This is an important milestone for Morrow. At the same time, the situation remains challenging, and there are no shortcuts to building stable and competitive battery production. It takes time to scale up production, improve processes, and consistently deliver the quality our customers expect. In Arendal, we are now producing cells that are being put into use by customers with high requirements for quality, performance, and reliability of supply,” said Jon Fold von Bülow, Acting CEO of Morrow.”
Under the agreement, Morrow supplies prismatic LFP cells for both Proventia’s standard battery products and customer-specific solutions. The agreement runs through 2031 and allows for the future inclusion of additional cell chemistries as they become commercially available.
Proventia expects to begin its first customer deliveries using Morrow’s cells in the first half of 2026. In the coming months, Morrow will continue to increase production capacity and further stabilise and optimise its manufacturing processes, with a strong focus on reliable deliveries and long-term industrial partnerships.
