Lithium Battery Company expands in Tampa with new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility

The renewable energy company has leased 65,000 square feet in South Tampa and plans to add 50 high-tech jobs over the next three years

Tampa, Fla. (January 15, 2025) – Lithium Battery Company, a local renewable energy company, is expanding its business with the launch of a new lithium battery pack manufacturing facility in South Tampa. The company has leased 65,000 square feet at 5201 S. Westshore Blvd. and plans to create 50 new high-tech jobs over the next three years.

 

The new facility is equipped with fully automated production lines capable of manufacturing both cylindrical and prismatic lithium battery packs. Lithium Battery Company sees its technology catering to a wide array of applications, ranging from small-scale electronic devices to large commercial energy storage systems. With this strategic expansion, the company aims to transform the energy storage industry while significantly contributing to the region’s economic development.

 

“Our goal is to lead the way in setting benchmarks for urban renewable energy technology and resources, and Tampa is the ideal launchpad for this initiative,” said Nathan Staron, CEO and Founder of Lithium Battery Company. “I’ve been in Tampa for over a decade now, and I’m enthusiastic about the prospect of generating new manufacturing jobs and contributing to the city’s dynamic growth over the next ten years.”

 

Founded in 2014, Lithium Battery Company has emerged as a leader in the development and manufacturing of cutting-edge lithium battery solutions, which have been trusted by industry leaders such as SpaceX, LG Electronics, General Dynamics, and several Fortune 50 companies. Its new facility, which is set to be fully operational by the first quarter of 2025, is a pivotal step in broadening the company’s influence in the energy sector.

 

“Sustainability and resilience are among our top priorities for Transforming Tampa’s Tomorrow,” said Mayor Jane Castor, City of Tampa. “I was thoroughly impressed with the Lithium Battery team when I met with them and I’m excited about the potential their renewable energy solutions could mean for minimizing our ecological and environmental impact. I’m thrilled to see they are so bullish on Tampa, and I look forward to supporting their growth in our community.”

 

The Tampa Bay Economic Development Council assisted the Lithium Battery team with permitting and approvals for the new property and connections to pursue the Quick Response Training Grant. The Tampa Bay EDC also made introductions to local business resources and to the University of South Florida for talent and collaborative opportunities with the TECO Clean Energy Research Center. Lithium Battery Company is the latest local manufacturer to announce an expansion in Tampa and Hillsborough County, following Norwalt, Cadmus Dental Lab and Cast-Crete.
