A Second Life for the Battery

Michael Rayburn is right at the heart of one of today’s most exciting growth markets: cleanroom cleaning for battery cell production. In this interview, the Director of Engineering and Development explains what sets Leadec apart in the U.S. and why experience in cleaning paint shops is a major advantage. 

In Saxony (Germany), the Altech wants to manufacture new solid-state batteries. Leadec is responsible for the planning of plants and production processes for the future-oriented manufacturing.

Our company brochure provides an overview of our services, our culture and references and shows the advantages of working with Leadec.

The accelerated ramp-up of battery factories – especially gigafactories – is a key factor in covering global demand for powerful batteries. But how can this ramp-up be done efficiently and sustainably?

High-voltage batteries have been repaired at the competence center for batteries in Hoyerswerda since 2022. This is much more cost-effective than a new battery and more sustainable. This expertise can also be used for other services. In focus: battery dismantling.

Leadec CEO Markus Glaser-Gallion talks in the "Automobilwoche" about the lack of skilled workers, current business developments and strategic topics like e-mobility, integrated facility management and automation at Leadec.

As the world’s leading service specialist for the entire life cycle of a factory, Leadec prioritizes ESG principles for a sustainable future. Our target is to lead our industry by example. The sustainability report 2023 was prepared according to the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)/ European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). 

More and more electric vehicles are on Germany’s roads. And they are hungry for electricity! Preferably available quickly and everywhere. As a technical specialist, Leadec is also on the road, installing, monitoring, and maintaining charging stations for a major car manufacturer to meet the demand.

Manufacturers are working to make the transition to electric vehicles. Leadec is right in the middle of it. In this interview, Alexander Doebelin, Vice President E-Mobility in Global Business Development, provides insights into the business and explains where Leadec’s strengths lie in this area.

The semiconductor industry is growing strongly. Manufacturers have their sights firmly set on Europe. And technical services for the fab have a special role to play. In this interview, Dana Nikolaj, Business Director Semiconductor, provides insights into the business and the opportunities for Leadec.

Ulrich Haas is the managing director of Leadec’s newest subsidiary in France. In this interview, he talks about the opportunities and challenges of the market and where the company’s focus lies.

Do you know our interview series “Factory Talks”? Leadec experts around the world talk about topics that are affecting factories and production (plants).

By 2030, nearly ten percent of the electric vehicles produced worldwide will be on India’s roads. A market that is currently still in its early stages, but which has enormous potential. What does this mean for Leadec?

From autonomous transport systems to digital weld seam testing - Leadec's range of products and services for the smart factory can now be experienced in a simulated environment. This is now available with a tour on the online platform "Digital Factory Experience".

Six months have passed since Battery Show Europe 2021 - almost an eternity in this field. Since the last show, we have realized new projects and also held many technical discussions with companies, associations and research institutions. In the process, four trends for the factory have emerged.

Our sustainability program centers around four strategic commitments: managing our environmental impact, acting responsibly toward our employees and society, maintaining integrity as well as adding longterm customer value. Read more in our Sustainability Report. 

Alternative drives and, above all, electromobility are the automotive industry’s innovation drivers. Battery production is one of the biggest challenges in this regard. What solutions are there? Find out in episode 1 of our Factory Talks.

In 2022, Leadec will celebrate its 60th anniversary. In an interview with Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of Leadec, we talk about the past years and how he sees the future of the service specialist for the factory. 

Everyone is talking about the transformation of the automotive industry toward electromobility. But what significance does this have for personnel service providers now, and what demand do they expect? You will find some results in our latest survey.

Battery production is revolutionizing automotive production. New production technologies, data availability and line analytics as well as the reduction of manual work at one hand, and the need for qualified staff on the other hand are major challenges for electric vehicle plants.

Many automakers and automotive suppliers are struggling with the transition to electromobility. This is not the case with the industrial service provider Leadec.Read the full article which was originally published in "Automobilwoche"

The complexity of factories worldwide is constantly increasing: data overflow, no obvious synergies, countless contact persons – it’s incredibly hard to keep track of everything. The solution: one reliable and experienced partner along the entire life cycle of a factory.

What is actually behind a "battery" in an electric vehicle? We clarify the most important components: cell, module and pack.

What is the added value of battery manufacturing services? Dr. Christoph Jaschinski, Global Head of Business Development gives an assessment of where the market is heading.
