Dongjin: New Skellefteå factory in green battery supply chain

With extensive support from Rejlers’ experts within industrial manufacturing, South Korean chemical company Dongjin has set up a new factory in Skellefteå, Sweden. The site is manufacturing conductive slurry materials for batteries, mainly as part of the supply chain for Northvolt’s big new factory producing green batteries in the same city. In this way, the project is supporting the transformation of the European automotive industry in view of a future society free from carbon dioxide emissions.

Dongjin turned to Rejlers for the establishment of two lines of production, of which one was launched in 2023 and the second one is in its final stages. As complete service provider, Rejlers has been responsible for process and mechanical engineering, piping, electricity and instrument automation. Although this is not a turnkey EPCM project, key parts of this model have been in play, with Rejlers taking charge of commissioning, construction, engineering and management, as well as supporting Dongjin within procurement. Given the European and Swedish standards, strict environmental demands and legal requirements have been key for the execution of the project.
