STL to exhibit at Battery Tech Expo 2025

Redditch-based Samuel Taylor Ltd (STL) will be exhibiting at Battery Tech Expo 2025, the UK’s largest technical exhibition dedicated to the battery value chain, taking place next week at The Wing, Silverstone from 26-27 March 2025 (Stand B14). The event brings together professionals from across the advanced battery technology and energy storage sector to connect, innovate and do business.

The company play an important role within the battery value chain and has a proven track record producing dual thickness, multi materials and contacted busbars in-house for a variety of applications, including remote disconnect smart meters and battery pack technology. STL will exhibit bonded aluminium and copper ALCu, bonded silver and copper SilCu, and ‘spot welded’ aluminium and copper. The battery industry is going through a power revolution with big technology companies investing heavily in the next generation of battery development and energy storage.

The show provides a unique opportunity to showcase the latest products, technologies and services covering battery management systems, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, battery storage, battery development/discovery, commercial and mobile power device sectors.

Stringent quality requirements
One of STL’s historical success stories involves producing the dual thickness, contacted busbars used in smart meters. Utilising this core competency, STL has also previously partnered with a leading developer of EV battery modules from the offset to design and build a pilot-scale stamping line for their EV battery, working to produce 10,000 initial prototypes. This was followed by the development of a brand-new dual thickness method of manufacture to enable scalable production of a total of 70,000 busbars in accordance with stringent quality requirements.

In addition, STL manufactured specialist busbar production for the 350km per hour Lotus Evija which includes locally reduced thickness areas of extreme flatness and thickness tolerances for laser welding to the battery cells. STL looks forward to welcoming conversations about this and other projects at the exhibition.

Having recently celebrated 125 years in business, STL has been at the forefront of engineering technology, supplying intelligent, cost-effective precision engineering solutions for manufacturing industries worldwide. From sophisticated bonding of base and precious metals, manufacture of electrical contact rivets, precision stamping and welded contact assemblies, the company says its unique blend of technology, experience and knowledge enables it to create effective cost-driven solutions to address the most complex of manufacturing challenges.
