Trans-Matic Manufacturing Company Inc. of Holland, Michigan and H&T Battery Components have joined forces to launch HTTM LLC, a joint venture limited liability company. Through the combined capabilities of its parent companies HTTM has entered the global advanced energy storage market with the development and production of metal battery container systems. HTTM designs, develops and manufactures battery cell containers for lithium ion and other types of high performance batteries for hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles as well as other communication, mobile and stationary power storage applications. Through H&T Battery Components, HTTM was one of only 30 successful recipients of the National Energy Technology Laboratory‘s major grant funding for Electric Drive Vehicle Battery and Component Manufacturing under the U.S. Department of Energy American Re-investment and Recovery Act.

 

HTTM provides confidential design and development, rapid prototyping, and ultimately high volume global production for its customers. Products utilize various metals formed into a variety of cylindrical and prismatic cell containers in custom sizes. HTTM also produces matching cover/lid assemblies with integrated, laser welded, swaged, and bonded terminations. Proprietary computer simulation methodologies are used to achieve optimum design and performance. Container systems typically can include separate or integrally formed safety vent features that are specifically engineered by HTTM to provide a precise release of pressure as needed.

 

The HTTM LLC joint venture is headquartered in Holland, MI, USA and utilizes many of the resources, expertise and facilities of its parent companies H&T and Trans-Matic. Other HTTM designated locations include Mesa, AZ; Waterbury, CT; Marsberg, Germany; Dongguan, China; Suzhou, China; and Singapore. With this widespread manufacturing base, HTTM is able to provide advanced development and consistent high quality component production to its global customers.
