China-based Rept Battero has officially opened its lithium-ion cell and BESS manufacturing facility in Indonesia.
The company announced it at the Indonesia International Coal and Energy Industry Expo (ICEE 2026) this week (11-13 May).
While it was slightly vague in its language, talking about ‘introducing its Indonesia manufacturing base’, its head of overseas sales Andy Tang said it had opened its first overseas manufacturing facility there, where it will manufacture DC energy storage solutions. (See our recent video interview with him here.)
The company announced firm plans to build the 8GWh, energy storage lithium-ion battery cell gigafactory in January last year. It said then it would invest a total of US$223 million in PT Rept Battero Indonesia, a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, via a mix of direct investment and also via another subsidiary, Infinitude International Investment.
