Last week, Morrow Batteries officially inaugurated its cutting-edge battery factory in Arendal, a milestone event as it marks Europe’s first gigawatt-scale factory for Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.
In attendance to officiate the ceremony was Norway’s Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Støre. In his speech, Støre drew parallels to industrial pioneer Sam Eyde, who "opened the gate to the world" when he set the hammer in motion at Nes Jernverk, putting Agder on the map as an industrial hub exporting goods to Europe and beyond. Today, Morrow is reimagining these gates with a workforce from 29 nations, highlighting the power of human collaboration in driving the innovation crucial for the green shift.
Morrow is a key partner for Welcome Hub Agder (WHA), which was established following Morrow’s decision to set up in Arendal in 2021. WHA supports international talent relocating to the region, helping them navigate local systems, secure housing, and build social networks. This support is essential for companies like Morrow, which rely on international expertise.
We were delighted to meet and mingle with several Morrow employees at the ceremony, especially Ramya Sri Alluri, a familiar face at WHA. She secured a job at Morrow after attending WHA’s job start course for spouses in March this year.
Congratulations Morrow! We look forward to our continued collaboration to make Agder an attractive place for international talent to thrive and stay.
