WEG is a Brazilian company with a global presence in the areas of electrical engineering, energy technology, and automation. According to Exame Invest, the company will invest R$ 100 million by 2024 in Brazil to expand the production capacity of lithium battery packs. The packs are systems composed of battery modules, lithium-ion cells, and cooling tubes.

The company does not only wish to increase the dimensions of the current manufacturing building but also plans to construct a new factory to meet the demand for electric mobility and energy storage systems, which have been growing exponentially nowadays.
