Detroit, October 12, 2026
Comau and Intecells are bringing a new approach to battery cell manufacturing to The Battery Show North America, where they will jointly present an industrial roll-to-roll surface treatment developed around Intecells’ field-proven cold plasma technology.
Designed to make key battery production steps faster and more energy efficient, the innovative system will be on display at Huntington Place in Detroit, October 12-15 in Booth #3626. In 2025, Comau acquired a stake in Intecells, combining Intecells’ technology with its own ability to industrialize, integrate and scale advanced processes for production. Benefits range from improved cell performance to significant reductions in production time, energy consumption and investment costs. The companies will also explore how the underlying technology can be applied to other industries where surface treatment could increase efficiency or product performance.
At the show, Comau will also highlight the new cell formation and testing hub it has built for the National Institute of Chemistry (NIC). Developed to meet customer requirements for flexible, industrialized cell formation and testing, the semi-automated platform supports pouch, cylindrical and prismatic cells, ranging from laboratory prototypes to high-power cells for automotive and industrial applications. With dedicated formation chambers and climatic and room-temperature testing stations, the NIC battery lab can accommodate different cell formats and testing requirements and is open to academic and industrial users across Europe.
