A123 Systems - What's going on?
The Straight Scoop

A123 Systems, owner-developer of proprietary Lithium NanoPhosphate technology, and sole manufacturer of A123 batteries has recently undergone re-organization. 

On January 29, 2013, A123 Systems LLC, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Wanxiang America Corporation, announced that it has acquired substantially all of the non-government business assets of A123 Systems, Inc. in a transaction approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Included in this transaction are A123’s automotive, grid and commercial business assets, including technology, products, customer contracts and U.S. facilities in Michigan, Massachusetts and Missouri; its manufacturing operations in China; and its equity interest in Shanghai Advanced Traction Battery Systems Co., A123’s joint venture with Shanghai Automotive. Excluded from the acquisition is A123’s Ann Arbor, Mich.-based government business, including contracts with the U.S. military, which have been acquired by Navitas Systems LLC through a separate transaction.

This brings to an end a challenging time for A123 and while you have undoubtedly been feeling substantial uncertainty about A123's situation during these last few months, we want to reassure you that this is a decidedly positive outcome for A123 and our customers.  Wanxiang has reiterated its commitment to A123's technologies, customers, suppliers, partners and oter stakeholders, and we believe the future to be extremely bright.

"We are excited to add A123 Systems to our growing portfolio of companies as we continue to expand on our strategy of investing in the automotive and cleantech industries in the U.S.,” said Pin Ni, president of Wanxiang America. “A123 will continue to offer cutting-edge technology for vehicle electrification and grid-scale energy storage, strong manufacturing and systems engineering capabilities and a world-class R&D team. Wanxiang America will continue to foster the technologies A123 has worked so hard to develop, and we believe this combination positions A123 for long-term success."
