July 19, 2018: Ultracapacitor maker Skeleton Technologies has shifted manufacturing from Tallinn, Estonia to the plant it set up in Dresden, Germany (pictured) last year, the firm confirmed on July 19.

“The rest of our machinery was moved there to have all the production’s relevant processes together in one place,” vice president marketing and communications Sylvia Kleimann told BESB.

Kleimann says the annual capacity of the plant is four million cells.

“Part of our team has been relocated to the manufacturing side in Germany, but our module development team stays in Tallinn and will be added to with further employees,” she said.

“We have a close relationship with the university in Tallinn and very good experience with the engineering and technician competence in Estonia, and this is why the development of the modules will stay there.”

Skeleton Technologies is known for its ‘Skel’ range of ultracapacitor-based energy storage systems, which it says can be used in all kinds of applications.

“Our carbon-based ultracapacitors have four times the power density of competitive products and also a much lower ESR (equivalent series resistance),” says Kleimann.

“Our orders are coming from different industries, including automotive, logistics, aerospace, heavy machinery, materials handling and many more.”
