Samkee Energy Solutions Expands Core Connector Business for ESS

Samkee Energy Solutions announced on July 30 that it will actively expand its core connector business for Energy Storage Systems (ESS).

Samkee Energy Solutions is a company that develops and supplies connectors that link ESS battery cells to Battery Management Systems (BMS). Connectors play a key role in battery management, power delivery, and system stability within ESS. The company's products are notable for utilizing a differentiated Flexible and Flat (FF) PCB technology, as opposed to traditional wire harnesses or flexible printed circuit boards (flexible PCBs).

The company has structured its connectors to be thin and flexible, increasing design flexibility compared to conventional connection methods, while also reducing both weight and volume. These connectors are suitable for high-current environments and can help reduce copper usage, thereby lowering costs. Currently, products are being supplied to global battery manufacturers, and their application is expanding in large-scale ESS projects, particularly in North America.

Recently, the ESS market has been growing due to the expansion of Artificial Intelligence Data Centers (AIDC) and the increasing adoption of renewable energy. The outlook is positive, driven by the progress of large-scale projects and aggressive investments by global AI, platform, and energy companies.

A Samkee Energy Solutions representative stated, "Along with our primary market in electric vehicles (EV), we are actively developing products and strengthening our sales network to target the rapidly growing ESS market, which is fueled by increased AIDC investments." The representative added, "By collaborating with our parent company, Samkee—which has entered the humanoid robot parts business—we will secure competitive technology that can be applied to various next-generation battery platforms, including batteries for robots in the future."
