Gelion PLC

Gelion has entered the US market through new agreements with the Department of Energy's National Laboratory of the Rockies, opening commercial and defence opportunities in the world's largest battery market. The company also named Matthew Wood as its new CEO following an international search, as it enters a phase focused on scaling the business and expanding commercial partnerships. Wood cited three reasons for joining: technology already validated by commercial partners, manufacturing processes that can scale on existing industrial infrastructure, and a partnership portfolio spanning TDK in Asia, Kinaltek in the UK, Nissan, and now the US national laboratory deal. He also highlighted the growing drone market, where sulfur-based battery materials offer technical advantages while supporting domestic supply chains across the UK, Australia and the US.
