From Area Development Magazine:

“We are honored to engage with Panasonic Energy to support the battery cell production in De Soto. […] Panasonic Energy is a great partner for H&T, which has over 40 years of experience in the mass production of cylindrical battery cans. We will ensure a successful execution with our U.S.-based mass production resources and experience, combined with research and development out of our Center of Excellence in Germany.” […]

“My administration is dedicated to making Kansas the best place for businesses to start or grow. […] Kansas is attractive to companies from around the world because of our history of steady economic performance, talented workforce, and growing electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. H&T’s decision to co-locate with Panasonic is proof that the work we are doing to attract business is paying off.”

“H&T’s investment in Kansas is significant as they are the first of many companies that will be adding to the transformational stimulus begun when Panasonic broke ground in De Soto. […] The expansion of the EV battery sector is not only creating new job opportunities but is adding to the momentum that has made Kansas the nation’s best place to live, work, and invest.”
