What Addionics does
Addionics Ltd., founded in 2018 and headquartered in Tel Aviv with additional offices in London, Germany, and a planned US giga-factory, manufactures porous 3D metal current collectors (copper for anodes, aluminum for cathodes) for lithium-ion batteries. Its core technology — Smart 3D Current Collectors — replaces conventional flat foils with through-pore structures that enable multi-directional ion transport, reducing diffusion length from centimeters to millimeters and delivering claimed gains of 12% higher energy density, 60% longer lifetime, 10% lower cell production cost, and 30% EV range improvement while using 60% less copper. An in-house AI-driven cell modeling platform optimizes the 3D geometry for specific chemistries and applications, ingesting production, sensor, and multi-physics simulation data to guide design and run predictive analytics across battery lifecycle and manufacturing.
The company sells primarily through direct enterprise engagement with automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers, augmented by a strategic manufacturing partnership with Avery Dennison for roll-to-roll scale-up of the 3D collectors and licensing-style revenue mechanics around technology transfer. Reported engagements span the majority of the top 10 global automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers, with named relationships including GM (GM Ventures co-led the Series B), Scania (strategic investor), and Magna, Novelis, and JX Nippon as Series B participants. Customer segments explicitly targeted include electric vehicle and battery manufacturers, defense tech and space, energy storage systems (prismatic LFP cells for AI data centers, renewables, and grid storage), and robotics/humanoid platforms.
Addionics has raised approximately $79 million in disclosed funding (Series A $27M in January 2022, Series B $39M in July 2024, plus a strategic investment from Elron Ventures in December 2025 ahead of a planned Series C) and operates with 11-50 employees across Israel, the UK, Germany, and the US. The company is pre-scale at the production level: its planned US giga-factory (announced 2024, targeting copper anodes for ~1 million EVs annually with production in 2027) has not yet begun commercial output, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic activity — the Avery Dennison manufacturing partnership, the PNT Materials joint development of prismatic LFP cells for ESS, and the defense/space market push — signals a deliberate broadening from a single-component hardware supplier into vertically integrated cell-level offerings across multiple high-growth end markets.
