Rumpleer Obtains KC Certification for LFP Batteries, Accelerates Strengthening of Domestic Supply Chain

Rumpleer, a manufacturer of domestically produced LFP (lithium iron phosphate) prismatic batteries and high-power drone batteries, is emerging as a key player in the self-sufficiency of Korea's battery supply chain.

The company is recognized as the first in Korea to obtain KC certification for LFP batteries, and demand for domestically produced batteries is rapidly increasing, particularly in the heavy equipment, drone, and energy sectors.

Founded in 2019, Rumpleer operates a mass production plant with a capacity of 100 MWh and has established a system that handles the entire process domestically, from electrode manufacturing to final cell production. Based on its domestically produced LFP prismatic batteries and high-power drone batteries, the company targets the electrification of heavy equipment (such as excavators and forklifts), industrial and military ESS, and the drone battery market. Rumpleer continues to develop technology with the goal of ensuring safety and self-sufficiency in the electrification sector.

Currently, Rumpleer is in supply discussions with domestic companies in the heavy equipment, drone, and energy sectors. In the heavy equipment and logistics industries, safety and lifespan are considered key factors, leading to growing interest in high-safety LFP batteries. As the global trend of de-risking from China accelerates, especially in the United States and Europe, Rumpleer is also engaging in supply talks with overseas companies.

The distinguishing feature of Rumpleer's products is that the entire production process takes place in Korea. The company is prioritizing safety and focusing on advancing its technology, with the goal of building a competitive "Korean battery" brand in the global market based on a domestic supply chain.

A Rumpleer representative stated, "While demand in the domestic LFP market has been steady, supply has mostly relied on Chinese products. By stably supplying high-reliability LFP prismatic batteries and drone batteries designed and manufactured in Korea, we aim to improve the industry's dependence structure and contribute to the establishment of a self-sufficient supply chain."

The representative added, "As efforts to reduce supply chain risks are increasing overseas as well, we are expanding discussions with global clients. We will continue to strengthen our technology and production capabilities so that the Korean battery brand can secure competitiveness in the global market."
