KORE Power Hires Senior Team for its 12 GWh Lithium-ion Battery Cell Production Facility

KORE Power (KORE) announced the hiring of several members of the team that will run the day-to-day operations at its KOREPlex lithium-ion battery cell production gigafactory.

The KOREPlex is expected to begin construction later this year and will employ 3,000 people when it reaches full production.

“We have assembled a team that will define the KOREPlex’s workplace culture and will allow us to attract and keep employees,” said Lindsay Gorrill, KORE Power’s Co-Founder and CEO.

Randy Cowder, Senior Vice President of Manufacturing, said the team brings unsurpassed lithium-ion cell manufacturing experience that will allow them to train the next generation of battery manufacturing workers.

“Besides some of the obvious qualities like battery manufacturing, management, safety, and quality experience, I wanted to assemble a team that understands the importance of people,” he said. “This team has a strong desire to develop and grow their people, which will help us become the employer of choice in the Buckeye/Phoenix area and help build a diverse and inclusive domestic battery industry.”
