  • High-volume production is set to begin in 2025, following initial sample shipments in Q3 2024.

Enovix Corporation ENVX shares jumped on Wednesday after the company disclosed that it began shipping EX-1M battery cell samples from its new Agility Line in Malaysia last week.

This milestone follows the initial shipment of samples from Fab1 in California and the opening of the high-volume Fab2 in Malaysia this summer.

The company has completed internal UN38.3 certification for the shipping cells, which ensures compliance with the United Nations standard for safely transporting lithium-ion batteries, adhering to stringent international safety and abuse tolerance requirements.

Following the shipment of samples in the third quarter of 2024, the company plans to begin high-volume production in 2025.

Ajay Marathe, COO of Enovix, stated, “This success with the Agility line is an encouraging early indicator as we prepare for the high-volume line, which is on track for Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) completion.”

In August,  Enovix announced that it signed a collaboration agreement with a Fortune 200 company to provide silicon batteries for the IoT product category

The company also disclosed in July that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a high-performance, global automotive OEM aimed at scaling the Enovix cell architecture for the EV market.

Price Action: ENVX shares are up 13.5% at $9.735 at the last check Wednesday.
