LeydenJar is building a production facility 'PlantOne' at Strijp-T.

Finally, the news can officially be announced: LeydenJar is going to establish itself as the second tenant in building TX at Strijp-T.

Yesterday, the ceremonial signing took place and today, among others, BNR Nieuwsradio, the Financieel Dagblad, and de Volkskrant are paying attention to the arrival of this promising high-tech company.

LeydenJar is building the first factory for batteries that can store much more energy. LeydenJar, a young Dutch company developing batteries that can store much more energy, is going to build its first factory in Eindhoven. The first components are expected to roll off the production line there in 2026.

Since its establishment in 2016, LeydenJar has been working on a silicon anode (a component of the battery). This material can store much more energy than the graphite that has been used up to now. As a result, these batteries can store 50 to 70 percent more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries.

Due to the higher energy density, for example, electric cars can reach much further on a single battery charge, or the battery can be made smaller for the same distance, reducing the weight of the car as well as the costs. Initially, the company is targeting companies that produce batteries for consumer electronics, such as smartphones, portable electronics, and drones. At a later stage, delivery should also be made to the automotive industry.
