Samsung SDI Seizes Full Control of Indiana Battery Plant, Eyes Storage Shift
Samsung SDI is buying out GM’s 49.99% stake in their New Carlisle, Indiana battery-plant JV, making it Samsung SDI’s first wholly owned North American factory. GM exits ownership but will maintain a supply relationship and joint-development agreement for next‑gen prismatic batteries. The plant, a $3.5B project with initial 27 GWh (potentially 36 GWh) capacity, targets mass production in 2027 and about 1,600 jobs, and will reportedly add an energy-storage system line as Samsung shifts toward stationary storage amid softer EV demand and a tax-credit backdrop. Investors sent shares down about 4-5% on the news.
