"It’s exciting to be able to join the Amprius team at this
pivotal moment in the company’s journey. As the VP of
Infrastructure, I am thrilled to contribute to the Amprius mission
of enabling the future of electric mobility, augmenting the reach
of our breakthrough silicon nanowire anode technology,” said Huie.
“I look forward to leading the scaling initiatives to serve
critical customers and broaden our reach.”
Huie brings over 30 years of facility development and management
experience to Amprius. He most recently served as the Director of
Facilities at Panasonic Energy of North America; in that role, he
was responsible for facilities site leadership at the Sparks, NV
location as well as a critical participant in strategic initiatives
like new product introductions and the GigaWatt manufacturing
expansion project. Prior work experiences highlight success across
team building and leadership, as well as project expansion at both
large and small enterprises.
The decision to appoint Huie is well-timed following Amprius’
recent entry into the public markets subsequent to the close of its
business transaction with Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp.
Amprius began trading on the NYSE under the ticker “AMPX” on
September 15, 2022, and plans to use the proceeds of this
transaction to accelerate the construction of the new high-volume
manufacturing facility in either Texas or Georgia, significantly
expanding its production capabilities. Huie’s appointment signifies
Amprius' investment of an executive to lead this critical
commitment to our stakeholders.
“We are very pleased to welcome Andrew Huie to the Amprius team.
His years of experience in facility development and management, and
expertise in optimizing and supporting the development of
high-tech, high-volume production sites, are well aligned with our
expansion strategy,” said Dr. Kang Sun, Chief Executive Officer of
Amprius. “Andrew will play a critical role in our ability to scale
our capacity to meet the overwhelming market demand for our
high-performance lithium-ion battery cells.”
