In-house Drone Battery Production Capacity to Double by Mid-2027

FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation (Nasdaq: ENVX) (“Enovix”), a developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, including proprietary silicon-anode architectures, highlighted that its drone and defense battery portfolio manufactured in South Korea is compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), expanding the company’s ability to serve U.S. government defense programs. Enovix is doubling its in-house drone battery production capacity in South Korea by mid-2027 to support growing demand from the U.S. and allied government customers.

“Secure access to high-performance batteries is increasingly critical to the national security of the United States and its allies,” said Ryan Benton, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Enovix. “Achieving TAA compliance, combined with our planned capacity expansion in South Korea, strengthens our ability to support that mission with high-performance batteries produced at scale through a trusted supply chain.”

“Our customers are telling us clearly that they need high-performance batteries backed by a trusted supply chain and compliant production capacity at scale,” said Steve Bakos, Senior Vice President of Sales at Enovix. “With TAA compliance and expanded capacity from our own factories, Enovix is positioned to meet those requirements across a growing range of defense applications.”

As discussed in its second quarter 2026 earnings report, the company believes demand for high-performance batteries that meet U.S. government sourcing requirements could materially exceed available supply through the end of the decade. This dynamic is most visible today in aerial and naval drones, where Enovix’s opportunities alone exceeded $100 million during the second quarter of 2026.
