Group14

Group14 is a battery-materials company focused on silicon-based anode technology and its commercial-scale manufacture. Its website describes its mission as transforming batteries and enabling a world where anything that can run on rechargeable batteries does. The company presents SCC55®, an advanced silicon anode material it says was invented and patented in the United States, as its core technology. The company positions silicon battery materials as a way to improve energy storage across electric mobility, grid-scale storage, and consumer electronics. Group14 describes potential benefits including faster charging and greater energy density for electric vehicles, and more power, longer battery life, and faster charging in consumer devices. Its website also highlights applications in other areas, including reliable power at scale, though the supplied material does not provide further detail on that application. Manufacturing is central to Group14’s offering. The company reports 10 GWh of silicon battery-material capacity online and plans to reach 20 GWh by 2027. Its stated manufacturing footprint includes a factory in Sangju, South Korea, and a second commercial factory, BAM-2, under development in Moses Lake, Washington. Group14 also reports acquiring Schmid Silicon to expand its European manufacturing capabilities and silane-process expertise. The company describes its factories and supply-chain strategy as supporting commercial integration and reducing reliance on imported graphite. Group14’s About Us page reports that it acquired 100% of its joint venture with SK and that the South Korea factory became BAM-3. It also reports a $463 million Series D round that brought total equity raised to more than $1 billion, and describes an award negotiation of up to $200 million with the U.S. Department of Energy for a silane factory in Moses Lake. The supplied evidence does not identify the company’s founder, headquarters, or current executives.

Group14’s supplied company history presents its development as a progression from silicon battery technology toward commercial-scale production. The company says its core material, SCC55®, is an advanced silicon anode material invented and patented in the United States. Its stated focus is to make silicon materials available for rechargeable-battery applications, including electric mobility, grid-scale storage, and consumer electronics. The company’s manufacturing expansion includes facilities in the United States and South Korea, as well as activity in Europe. Group14 says it broke ground on BAM-2, its second commercial factory, in Moses Lake, Washington. The project was to begin with two manufacturing modules, each capable of producing up to 2,000 tons of SCC55® annually. The company also says it acquired Schmid Silicon to add silane-process expertise and expand its European manufacturing footprint. The supplied page does not attach dates to these particular events, so they cannot be assigned specific years here. Group14 reports that production began at its joint-venture factory with SK in South Korea and that SCC55® shipments from that location reached more than 100 customers. It also reports signing agreements with eight leading electric-vehicle and consumer-electronics cell manufacturers with a stated combined value of more than $750 million. The company describes these developments as helping establish silicon battery materials as a commercial-scale offering. In a later company update, Group14 says it acquired 100% of the joint venture with SK and that the South Korea factory became BAM-3. The same update reports a $463 million Series D financing round, bringing total equity raised to more than $1 billion. It also describes an award negotiation of up to $200 million from the U.S. Department of Energy for a silane factory in Moses Lake. The source lists timeline headings for 2025 through 2015 but does not explicitly connect the quoted events to individual years; accordingly, the events are recorded without inferred dates.
