Alpine 4's Subsidiary, ElecJet, Will Build a Solid-State Battery Prototype Production Line in San Jose, CA

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / July 8, 2022 / Alpine 4 Holdings (NASDAQ: ALPP), a leading operator and owner of small market businesses, announces its subsidiaries, ElecJet and Quality Circuit Assembly, will build a Solid-State Battery prototype production line at Quality Circuit Assembly's (QCA) new manufacturing facility in San Jose, California. This new line located at QCA will develop new generations of the AX Class of batteries and provide small volume production runs under QCA's current AS9100D Aerospace and ITAR Military certifications. In addition, the company plans on investing $2 million into new equipment and employee training on this new production line with the goal of having this line operational by the end of Q1 2023, shortly after QCA's move to their new facility.

Kent Wilson, CEO of Alpine 4 had this to say: "QCA's AS9100D Aerospace and ITAR Military certifications make locating this prototype / small production run facility within the Alpine 4 family of companies, a perfect fit. With the growing need from our customers for US made technologies, this production line will be the first step in supplying our customers and sister companies, like Vayu and RCA Commercial, with aerospace and military-certified battery assemblies, setting ElecJet apart from many of our battery competitors. QCAs new facility will also serve as engineering proof of concept for our plans to build a larger production facility in the coming year as we continue to narrow down prospective locations."
