Panasonic to localise its US data centre battery production, CEO says
Panasonic is seeking to localise its US supply chain for energy storage systems as it prepares to produce battery cells at a plant in Kansas as part of a shift towards supplying data centres, the Japanese group’s CEO said on Tuesday.
“Since most of our customers are in the US for these energy storage systems, we think it makes sense to complete the supply chain as much as possible within the US,” Yuki Kusumi said during a roundtable interview in Tokyo.
