[Cheonji Ilbo = Reporter Jeong Da-jun] On the afternoon of the 11th, Remplir Inc. (CEO Kim Su-jin) won the lithium secondary battery manufacturing category at the 10th "2025 Korea Promising SMEs, ESG, and Public Institutions Awards" hosted by Cheonji Ilbo (CEO Lee Sang-myeon) and the ISO International Standards Association (Co-CEOs Bae Sang-hyun and Bae Seon-jang).

Founded in 2019, Remplir has been leading technological innovation in the battery industry by establishing Korea's first mass production system for prismatic LFP batteries. CEO Kim Su-jin is an expert with over 15 years of experience researching LFP batteries at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST).

Remplir products are unique in that they are produced entirely in Korea. The company prioritizes safety and focuses on technological advancement. Building on its domestic supply chain, the company aims to establish a competitive "Korean battery" brand in the global market. The company's state-of-the-art production facility in Hwaseong City mass-produces 230Ah LFP batteries with an annual capacity of 100MWh, and its proprietary technology is recognized globally.

In particular, Remplir's eco-friendly aqueous cathode process, developed over 15 years, has begun to gain competitiveness in the global market. Unlike conventional battery manufacturing processes, the aqueous cathode technology uses water instead of toxic solvents (NMP), minimizing wastewater discharge and is considered both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Furthermore, since it eliminates the need for NMP recovery facilities, the final product price is lower than that of other batteries.

Based on its domestically produced LFP prismatic batteries and high-power drone batteries, the company is continuing its technological development, targeting the electrification of heavy equipment (excavators, forklifts, etc.), industrial and military ESS, and drone batteries. Demand for these technologies is growing as safety and self-sufficiency become increasingly important across the electrification industry.

Currently, Remplir is in supply discussions with domestic companies in the heavy equipment, drone, and energy sectors. As safety and long lifespan become increasingly important factors in the heavy equipment and logistics industries, demand for high-safety LFP batteries is growing. Furthermore, with the global shift away from China, particularly in the US and Europe, supply discussions with overseas companies are also underway.
