Morrow has begun delivering lithium-ion battery cells to Finnish company Proventia for use in power packs for heavy production equipment. The move marks a shift from Morrow’s earlier focus on automotive and marine applications toward industrial machinery.
Proventia designs and builds battery systems for industrial vehicles and stationary equipment. The company will integrate Morrow’s cells into battery packs for machines operating in mining, construction and ports. Morrow confirmed deliveries started this month and did not disclose volume or contract terms.
The Norwegian battery maker said the cells meet Proventia’s requirements for high energy density, long cycle life and resistance to vibration. Proventia’s managing director said the partnership allows faster deployment of zero-emission solutions in sectors where diesel engines remain dominant.
Morrow’s cells are produced at its Fredrikstad plant in southeastern Norway. The company has expanded output this year to supply both domestic and European customers. Earlier in 2024, Morrow secured deals with maritime and commercial vehicle clients, but the Proventia agreement is its first industrial machinery contract.
Industry watchers note the deal reflects growing demand for electric power solutions in heavy industries as emissions rules tighten across Europe. Morrow’s move into industrial batteries follows similar steps by Nordic rivals aiming to diversify beyond automotive markets.
