KATOP @ The Battery Show North America 2026 | Connecting with Global Partners in Detroit to Explore the Future of Batteries

The Battery Show North America 2026 took place in Detroit, USA, on October 13–15.

As North America’s leading event for advanced battery and electric vehicle technology, the show brought together companies across the global battery value chain, technical experts, and industry partners to explore new opportunities in battery manufacturing, technological innovation, and industry development.

KATOP showcased its key battery manufacturing solutions in Detroit, reconnecting with customers and partners from around the world.

From R&D validation to large-scale manufacturing.

At the show, KATOP engaged with customers worldwide on its core solutions, including laboratory-scale production lines, high-volume electrode coating, and separator coating. Discussions focused on manufacturing efficiency, process innovation, and future production line requirements.

From laboratory validation and pilot production to large-scale manufacturing, KATOP continues to draw on its equipment expertise and process experience to deliver more efficient, smarter solutions for battery manufacturers worldwide.

Technology connects industries. Conversations connect people.

On the evening of October 13, the 6th Industry Happy Hour brought industry partners, company representatives, and technical experts from China and the United States together in Detroit. In a relaxed, welcoming setting, guests shared perspectives and made new connections while discussing technology trends, market developments, industry opportunities, and collaboration across regions.

Beyond the busy schedule of the exhibition, Industry Happy Hour offers an open, informal space for conversation. Partners from across the industry exchanged ideas on battery innovation, manufacturing advances, global markets, and collaboration across the value chain—building connections through meaningful discussions.

Great ideas often start with a simple conversation.

Over a drink and a conversation, old friends reconnected and new partners got to know one another. Fresh possibilities in technology, business, and collaboration emerged naturally along the way.

For KATOP, Industry Happy Hour is more than a gathering beyond the exhibition floor. It is an ongoing opportunity to connect with industry partners worldwide and listen to perspectives from different markets.

Three days at the show. Conversations that continue.

From technical discussions at our booth to informal exchanges at Happy Hour, one message resonated: the global battery industry is evolving, and openness, connection, and collaboration remain essential to its progress.

KATOP will continue engaging with customers, partners, and industry peers worldwide, responding to evolving manufacturing needs through technological innovation and exploring new possibilities for the battery industry together.
