Saft, a manufacturer of high-tech batteries, has broken ground on its lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant at the Cecil Commerce Center in Jacksonville, Fla. The factory will build lithium-ion cells and batteries for applications such as smart grid support and renewable energy storage.
The factory - Saft's 16th wholly owned facility worldwide and 6th within the U.S. - will begin production during the second half of 2011. Saft has contracted the Haskell Company to provide the design-build services for the project.
