What They Do
Verkor is a private French battery manufacturer specializing in the production of low-carbon lithium-ion battery cells optimized for electric mobility and stationary storage. The company focuses on innovative technologies that ensure high power, high energy density, fast charging, as well as durability and robustness in extreme temperatures. These innovations are validated at their Verkor Innovation Centre (VIC) in Grenoble, which serves as a R&D lab and pilot line (source: verkor.com). Verkor produces flexible cells for various segments, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and stationary energy storage systems, with a particular emphasis on long-term efficiency for surplus renewable energy.
Projects and Background
Currently, Verkor's flagship project is the gigafactory in Bourbourg, near the port of Dunkirk, which has an initial capacity of 16 GWh per year, capable of producing batteries for approximately 300,000 vehicles. This site, inaugurated on December 11 and 12, 2025, is expected to reach a capacity of 50 GWh by 2030, with a total estimated cost between 2 and 3 billion euros (source: verkor.com). Although full production has not yet been achieved, the VIC in Grenoble has already begun producing cells and modules, transferring these initial products to the gigafactory for assembly. Key customers include Renault Group, with a contract for 12 GWh per year starting in 2025, and EDF, which has signed a 33 MW nuclear power allocation contract.
Recent Developments
Over the past two years, Verkor has secured Series C funding exceeding 2 billion euros for its gigafactory, as well as a green loan of 1.3 billion euros from 19 banks. The opening of the Bourbourg gigafactory marked a decisive milestone, with the first battery production scheduled for 2026. Additionally, a 12-year contract with EDF was signed on December 3, 2025, to provide low-carbon nuclear energy, further strengthening Verkor's position in the sustainable energy sector (source: verkor.com). These developments are part of a broader strategy aimed at establishing European sovereignty in battery production.
Working at Verkor
Verkor is recruiting experts in energy, automotive, mobility, as well as technicians and engineers specialized in battery design and manufacturing. Positions are primarily based in Grenoble and Bourbourg, with a projection of 1,200 direct jobs at full capacity, and up to 2,000 indirect jobs by 2030 (source: verkor.com). The company culture emphasizes commitment, communication, and teamwork, fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment, surrounded by the mountains of Grenoble, which was designated the European Green Capital in 2022.
