New Manufacturing Design Facility Unveiled In Edison
The Eos Ingenuity Lab will provide the space and resources to manufacture zinc battery technology that will help transition to clean energy.
EDISON, NJ — A new manufacturing design facility was unveiled in Edison Monday by Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06). Located at Eos Energy Enterprises corporate headquarters in Edison, the Eos Ingenuity Lab will provide the space and resources to continue evolving Eos’ zinc battery technology that will help transition to clean energy.
The lab will focus on expanding the company’s research and development capacity of new battery technology and will help toward the rapid development of its energy storage systems. The new facility is expected to add 25 new jobs.
“New Jersey is confronting the climate crisis with new, cutting-edge battery technology that is creating clean energy jobs right here at home,” Pallone said at a press conference held Monday afternoon.

“We have always prioritized innovation and continuous improvement as part of our company identity, but to have a designated site where this can be fostered will help accelerate the adoption of energy storage and its critical role in the renewable energy transition,” Mastrangelo said.
Founded in 2008, Eos designs and manufactures zinc batteries. Pallone hosted Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm for a tour of the company in July 2021.
The Department of Energy announced earlier this year new programs to invest $3 billion to strengthen U.S. supply chains for advanced batteries.
Long-duration energy storage can store energy for more than 10 hours at a time and would support a low-cost, reliable, carbon-free electric grid.
