Logistics & Planning Specialist
Altris
Company Overview
Altris AB
Uppsala, Sweden
2017
Approximately 50 employees (source: zoominfo.com). Revenue of $13.6 million (source: zoominfo.com).
What They Do
Altris AB focuses exclusively on sodium-ion battery technology, developing cathodes, electrolytes, and full cells using abundant, low-cost materials like sodium, iron, carbon, and nitrogen to avoid lithium, cobalt, nickel, and conflict minerals (source: altris.se). Their core product is Fennac®, an iron-based cathode material similar to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) in voltage and capacity but cheaper to produce, with higher power, better low/high-temperature performance, and no thermal runaway risk; it's produced via a low-energy process at scale (source: winway.se). They also offer patented NaBOB fire-retardant electrolyte and complete sodium-ion cells with energy density matching LFP, using compatible production lines (source: altris.se). Target markets include grid storage (commercial/residential), commercial transportation (buses, trucks, marine), and low-cost personal vehicles (two/three-wheelers); they license cells, electrolytes, and processes to customize for customers (source: altris.se). Altris differentiates through a fully European supply chain, cost stability from abundant materials, superior safety, and rapid commercialization, positioning it ahead of lithium-dependent rivals amid CATL's 2020 endorsement of sodium-ion; they've secured automotive/energy partnerships while scaling to gigawatt-hour output (source: uic.se).
Projects & Track Record
Altris has no large-scale completed projects publicly detailed as turnkey installations, focusing instead on material production ramp-up and cell prototyping; their Uppsala R&D line produces up to 100 MWh/year of cells, while Sandviken's Ferrum facility (launched 2023 via deal with AB Sandvik Materials Technology) hit 2,000 tonnes/year of Fennac by design, enabling 1-3 GWh batteries annually (source: altris.se). Ongoing projects include expanding Uppsala cell production to 15 MWh, establishing a pilot plant for sodium-ion cells with SEK 77 million from Swedish Energy Agency (Industrial Leap/NextGenerationEU programs), and scaling Fennac output to meet 2022 demands pre-Ferrum (source: youtube.com). Key clients and partners encompass Northvolt, Volvo Cars, Clarios (low-voltage batteries), Maersk Growth (maritime), and recent collaborators like Ligna, Jemac, RISE (ultrathin sodium-ion battery for electronics, Vinnova-funded) and Oscilion (Nordic sodium-ion module for military, with initial orders) (source: altris.se). Geographic presence centers on Sweden (Uppsala/Sandviken), with European partnerships and Asian outreach for mass-market adoption; expansion targets full-scale production within three years of earlier funding rounds (source: winway.se).
Recent Developments
In 2024, Altris raised SEK 150 million ($14.5 million) in Series B1 from Clarios, Maersk Growth, EIT InnoEnergy, and Molindo to expand production and European market presence (source: ess-news.com). Recent funding includes SEK 80.75 million from existing investors, following SEK 77 million Swedish Energy Agency grant for a pilot cell plant (source: altris.se). Earlier, €4.8 million (SEK 50 million) bridge financing in 2023 supported industrial manufacturing in Uppsala, with appointments of Björn Mårlid as CEO and Christer Bergquist as CFO (Bergquist later permanent CEO) (source: zoominfo.com). In 2025, Altris launched collaborations for ultrathin sodium-ion batteries (with Ligna/Jemac/RISE) and military modules (with Oscilion, initial orders secured); they earned third consecutive Ny Teknik 33-listan 'golden company' nod as Sweden's top innovative tech firm (source: altris.se). Prior rounds: €9.6 million (SEK 100 million) Series A for 2,000-tonne Fennac scale-up (enabling 1 GWh/year), €7.3 million from InnoEnergy, and €4.8 million bridge; total funding exceeds $29.8 million across four rounds (source: altris.se).
Working There
Altris seeks battery experts for roles in designing, producing, and licensing cells, electrolytes, and processes, spanning R&D, materials science, production engineering, and commercialization teams; open positions are listed on their site, emphasizing customized customer solutions (source: altris.se). Hiring occurs at Uppsala (R&D/cell production) and Sandviken (cathode factory) (source: altris.se). Company culture highlights a tight-knit community of passionate specialists driving planetary impact via sustainable energy, supported by early-stage programs like UIC Startup (2018), Build (2019), and Swedish Scaleups (2021-2023) for structure and funding (source: uic.se). No specific benefits like salaries or perks are publicly documented in sources, though employee participation in recent €4.8 million bridge funding indicates stock incentives (source: zoominfo.com).

Job Description
Responsible for coordinating and executing all logistics, warehouse, and material management activities supporting battery development and prototype production. The position combines hands-on operational work with managerial and system-development responsibilities, ensuring efficient flow of materials, compliant transport of hazardous goods, effective waste and recycling management, and robust material availability for R&D and pilot-scale production.
- Coordinate all warehouse activities, including receipt, storage, internal movement, and dispatch of materials.
- Accept inbound materials, verify delivery documentation, and ensure proper handling and storage, including hazardous materials.
- Manage inventory of raw materials, components, consumables, tools, and PPE.
- Plan, book, and coordinate outbound shipments, including domestic and international transport.
- Execute hands-on material planning and ordering for production-related items (BOM components) to support prototype and pilot activities.
- Procure consumables, tools, PPE, and other operational supplies in coordination with engineering, R&D, and production teams.
- Responsible for waste and recycling management for production line materials and the overall facility.
What We're looking for
At Altris we value individuals who are keen to learn and develop their own skill set. If you're a problem solver who loves production environment, and logistics activities, and making complex things work, then this is the place for you. Beyond that we imagine that you have some of the following points on your resumé:
- A university degree is not strictly required; however, significant hands-on experience (e.g., 3+ years) in logistics, warehouse management, or material planning within an industrial or manufacturing environment is essential.
- Experience in environments involving hazardous materials, chemicals, or batteries is highly desirable.
- Experience with ERP systems (preferably Dynamics 365) from a process or key-user perspective.
- Fluency in both English and Swedish is required, with the ability to communicate effectively in written and spoken form in a professional and technical environment.
- Strong knowledge of warehouse and logistics operations, including inventory management and shipment coordination.
- Ability and willingness to operate warehouse lifting equipment (e.g., electric material lifter/pallet stacker) is required; prior license is an advantage but not mandatory, as the company will provide training and certification.
- Understanding of ADR regulations for packaging and transport of dangerous goods.
- Experience in waste and recycling management within an industrial or production environment.
