Nexeon Establishes Base in Asia

UK company Nexeon, developers of advanced silicon materials for next generation rechargeable (Li-ion) batteries - has opened an office and development laboratory in Japan. Nexeon Japan K.K. is located in Yokohama, closer to many of its development partners and prospective customers in the electronics and automotive sectors.

The company will focus on customer support, applications engineering and materials and battery R&D. The company is presently recruiting Battery Scientists and Engineers.

The new office and laboratory are situated on the Hakusan High-Tech Park, a complex for advanced technology companies and knowledge-intensive products, providing opportunities for talent and technological exchanges between companies.

“Establishing a base in Asia is very important for Nexeon”, said CEO Dr Scott Brown. “We shall be much closer to several of our key target markets where we already have good relationships with customers - for whom we are developing application specific solutions - and with complementary technology providers.”
