Ulitum Cells Spring Hill battery manufacturing plant

Ultium Cells has announced it will shift production at its Spring Hill plant to support lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries to power facilities such as AI data centers.

After laying off 700 workers in December, the company said in a release it has now brought those workers back and is training them on the new production. Ultium Cells had said at that time that battery production would be paused for upgrades at the facility. The release also notes an investment of $70 million to retool the manufacturing plant and retrain employees by Q2, presumably May 2026.
