Recent Projects
In late 2023, Pomega initiated construction of its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Colleton County, South Carolina. This $300 million investment will create approximately 575 jobs and produce initially 3 GWh of lithium-ion batteries annually, with plans to expand to 6 GWh. Production is scheduled to begin in mid-2024. Additionally, Pomega formed an engineering partnership with Siemens to establish a sustainable battery ecosystem, including educational initiatives with the University of South Carolina.
Investors
Pomega’s financial backing includes significant investment from Swiss-based Rubellius Capital, which holds a 2% stake through an $8.4 million investment via its Rubellius Nucleus Investments SARL fund. The company’s parent organization, Kontrolmatik Technologies, continues to provide substantial support for expansion in both Turkish and U.S. markets. The company also benefits from incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), supporting its U.S. manufacturing initiatives.
