Our Mission
Verkor’s mission is to increase the manufacture of low-carbon batteries to meet growing demand for electric vehicles, with optimised manufacturing processes using innovations in industrial excellence 4.0, offering the most competitive and environmentally virtuous low-carbon batteries on the market.
Founded as a startup in July 2020, Verkor is on a mission to manufacture lithium-ion electric battery cells for the European market. Currently manufacturing batteries for Renault, they are a leading, innovative and environmentally ethical low-carbon battery solution, meeting the growing demand for electric vehicles in Europe. We love the diversity of the team and the merger between Asian and European technology. Verkor recruits talent worldwide and supports employees through the entire process of relocation, from visa sponsorship to administrative assistance and language learning! As such, they are able to build and welcome a team of expert international talents, who significantly contribute to the global solution that they build, and their company culture. Besides cultural diversity, we love that the Verkor team is composed of individuals with a wide range of skills, and/or educational backgrounds - from academia to engineering, a diverse skills set and contribution is valued.
Through their cross-team buddy system, you are equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to perform at your highest potential from the onset. With their “Verkor Days” held out in nature, team members are given an opportunity to keep up to speed with the ongoing activities at Verkor, discuss key milestones, engage in team building activities, and most importantly socialise with their colleagues. We love that despite working on such a major mission, Verkor makes time to hold company celebrations and acknowledge their team's efforts and milestones.
