UK custom battery manufacturer Raeon has announced the opening of its new flagship headquarters and manufacturing centre in Warwick.
Reportedly, this expansion marks a maturation for the business as it transitions from prototype assembly to a scalable production footing.
Raeon’s new 6,000ft² facility at Harriott Drive seeks to reduce the economy of scale that leads to UK-developed batteries exceeding £2 million per battery design.
The site houses Raeon’s proprietary FloLock manufacturing line, a resin encapsulation process that enables the production of robust, thermal-managed batteries of almost any shape and size without expensive injection-moulding tooling.
This approach cuts development costs by over 70% and reduces prototype lead times to as little as 12 weeks. The opening of the Warwick facility is a statement of intent for the UK supply chain.
By retaining its original engineering hub near Witney, Oxfordshire, for pure R&D and establishing production in the “Golden Triangle” of UK engineering, Raeon is ensuring that British manufacturers have a domestic source for high-performance, custom energy storage.
Raeon CEO and co-founder, Murray Schofield, said: “For too long, innovative UK manufacturers in sectors like Marine, Defence, and Niche Automotive have been forced to compromise—either buying off-the-shelf batteries that don’t fit their products or facing unpalatable costs for bespoke development.
“Our new Warwick facility changes that. By industrialising our FloLock™ technology here in the West Midlands, we are proving that you don’t need to be a mass-market giant to get the perfect battery.
“This facility is about unlocking electrification for the rest of the market and doing it right here in Britain.”
