It’s the sort of growth that encourages other tech heavy companies to see Tucson as a great place to be. We asked Sion CEO Tracy Kelley if Tucson’s on its way to becoming not Silicon Valley but Battery Valley.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Predictions say batteries will power even more of our future. They’re already adding power to the Tucson economy.
Sion Power has been making sophisticated batteries in Tucson for about 30 years. Now with battery demand soaring, the company has decided the time is right to move into a new, much bigger facility and to more than double its Tucson workforce from 100 to 250 workers. Kelley says the new American Battery Factory just announced isn’t competition as much as it’s an enhancement to the atmosphere that will make Tucson more of a battery technology leader and even more of a technical center than it’s become already.
American Battery CEO Paul Charles says, “This is generational in the effect because the skill sets it'll be taught and learned here, we'll be transferable to other locations as well. And as we expand out, we'll be able to have an opportunity to take those that really understand those skills and traits and to be able to promote them and be able to be leaders in other areas around the world.
