Salt Lake City's Torus named Battery Manufacturer of the Year; GigaOne plant targets 1 GW a year
Salt Lake City-based energy storage company Torus announced on November 5 that it has been named Battery Manufacturer of the Year at the 2026 Battery Awards, presented at The Battery Show North America in Detroit.
The award centers on Torus's GigaOne plant, a 545,000-square-foot factory in Salt Lake City that began production in early 2026 and targets 1 gigawatt of energy storage systems per year. The plant builds the Torus Station, which combines the Torus Spin flywheel with the Torus Pulse lithium-iron-phosphate battery.
Torus operates three facilities in Utah and in June 2026 launched a tuition-free technician onboarding program with Salt Lake Community College. The company previously received a TIME Best Invention honor and a 2025 R&D 100 Award. (Source: Torus)
