Holyvolt has acquired Wildcat Discovery Technologies to develop, optimize and manufacture next-generation batteries.
Mark Gresser, the president and CEO of Wildcat Discovery Technologies, said, “The Wildcat team is thrilled with this acquisition by Holyvolt. Mathias and team are very thoughtful with regard to their objectives in the battery industry, and recognize the value that wildcat’s high-throughput platform can deliver to our combined company and the industry at large. With Holyvolt’s vision and financial backing, Wildcat can finally unlock the true potential of high-throughput combinatorial chemistry for battery materials.”
The acquisition creates a group with end-to-end capabilities, spanning molecular discovery to pilot-scale production through a fully integrated high-throughput platform. It combines Holyvolt’s screen-printing and water-based process technology with Wildcat’s proprietary high-throughput platform (HTP), which rapidly generates large structured datasets for AI-driven analysis and accelerated development.
Mathias Ingvarsson, the founder and CEO of Holyvolt, added, “The acquisition of Wildcat is a perfect complement to our intended strategy of developing new technologies for the battery industry. Holyvolt is focused on developing new processes to make batteries cleaner and more affordable, and Wildcat has been pursuing the same goals via materials development and better chemistry. Combined, we are building what we believe is the most compelling technology to deliver on these objectives.”
The announcement comes after Holyvolt’s recent €20m (US$23m) funding round and strengthens the company’s technical capabilities across the global battery sector, serving industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace, energy storage and defense. The combined entity will support partners across the entire battery supply chain as a technology development partner, offering commercialization models, including licensing, tailored to each customer’s needs.
