Company Overview

IONCOR was founded in 2024 as a spin-off from Valmet Automotive and builds on more than 50 years of battery industry heritage. IONCOR designs, engineers, and manufactures modular battery systems for electric buses, trucks, and off‑highway machinery. The company’s mission is to accelerate electrification by offering ready-to-deploy modular platforms, custom battery systems and contract manufacturing so OEMs can adopt electric powertrains with lower upfront R&D investment. IONCOR also provides testing, validation, aftermarket support, and end‑of-life services.

Battery Technology

IONCOR’s core technology centers on modular, stackable battery platforms and cell-to-pack architectures that increase volumetric and gravimetric energy density while simplifying integration. The Energy Pack Long delivers ~290 Wh/l and ~160 Wh/kg, supports scalable capacities (≈79–1,000 kWh), and fast charging up to ~3C (10–80% in ~25 minutes). Systems include industrial BMS, extensive safety validation, high ingress protection and wide operating temperatures (-30°C to +60°C). Designs support multiple cell chemistries and emphasize traceability, recyclability and long cycle life (≥7,000 full cycles) for reduced total cost of ownership.

Products

IONCOR offers modular Power Pack and Energy Pack platforms, including the Energy Pack Long, plus bespoke battery systems and contract manufacturing. Products are stackable, scalable and designed for high energy density, fast charging and rugged durability. Primary applications include electric buses, trucks, construction and agricultural machinery, mining and material handling equipment.

Recent Projects

Recent activities in 2025 include the October 2025 launch of the Energy Pack Long to support zero-emission bus fleets and heavy-duty electrification. IONCOR consolidated German operations and relocated its battery test hub to Kirchardt to centralize validation and engineering. Ownership restructuring and new capital injections were completed to support scaling of production and product development.

Investors

Following a 2025 transaction, ownership is held by Finnish Minerals Group (FMG) with 70%, Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company with 16%, and Pontos Group with 14%. The Finnish State provided approximately EUR 20 million in new capital while FMG extended a EUR 35 million loan to support operations, product development and factory scale-up.
