CAMINUS to Manufacture Amprius Silicon-Anode Batteries in Indiana

Amprius Technologies is moving its silicon-anode pouch cell production to the United States through a new contract manufacturing agreement with Indianapolis-based CAMINUS. The partnership aims to bolster domestic supply chains for the aviation, defense, and uncrewed systems sectors, with volume production scheduled to begin in early 2027.

The agreement covers the full manufacturing spectrum, ranging from partial assembly of components to complete cell production. By leveraging the 92,000-square-foot Indianapolis facility, Amprius intends to scale its output rapidly while minimizing capital expenditure. The site is equipped for end-to-end production, including slurry mixing, electrode coating, and automated cell formation, ensuring compliance with NDAA Section 842 requirements for defense-related projects.

Adrian Yao, CEO of CAMINUS, noted that the deal addresses a significant bottleneck in Western battery supply chains by pairing advanced silicon-anode designs with established manufacturing infrastructure. Qualification builds are currently underway at the Indiana site. For Amprius, the collaboration provides a vital pathway to fulfill demand for mission-critical power systems without the long lead times associated with building proprietary, large-scale manufacturing plants from the ground up.
