KGA Registers Solid-State Battery Technology Patent... "Close Collaboration on Next-Generation Battery Development"

KGA, which is currently pursuing a merger with Samsung SPAC No.9, has succeeded in securing core technology for the manufacturing process of all-solid-state batteries, thereby strengthening its technological competitiveness. On the 11th, KGA announced that it had successfully registered a patent for core equipment-based technology used in the manufacturing process of all-solid-state batteries.

The patent focuses on coating an electrode with a cross-linked polymer solid electrolyte solution containing specific components, followed by cross-linking polymerization to form a solid electrolyte layer, thereby improving resistance characteristics.

This patent is a foundational technology applied to essential equipment required in the manufacturing process of all-solid-state batteries, offering the advantage of maximizing precision and efficiency in next-generation battery production. Through this patent, KGA has once again officially demonstrated its differentiated technological capabilities in the all-solid-state battery equipment sector, solidifying its market entry barriers even further.

KGA is recognized as a leader in the all-solid-state battery equipment field through proactive measures. It has already established close cooperative relationships with various global secondary battery companies both domestically and internationally, and holds references for supplying research and development (R&D) equipment for manufacturing all-solid-state batteries. This is a result of its outstanding technological capabilities and product quality.

KGA has continuously expanded its product lineup, starting with electrode process equipment such as coaters, roll presses, and slitters. Currently, it supplies various next-generation battery equipment, including integrated notching & stacking equipment for battery assembly, to major battery manufacturers at home and abroad.

Its technological development capabilities are also excellent, with about 40 patents filed and registered to date. In particular, all-solid-state battery process equipment is considered a market with significant entry barriers due to differing customer specifications and the high level of technology required.

A KGA representative stated, “Due to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with customers, we cannot disclose specific company names, but we are closely collaborating with major domestic and international battery manufacturers on various next-generation battery manufacturing processes, including all-solid-state batteries. We will continue to accelerate research and development to further strengthen our competitiveness in the next-generation battery market.”
