Manufacturing-First. That’s the Difference.
Most battery companies develop their chemistry first and solve manufacturing later. At Prieto, we built the battery around manufacturing from day one.
Prieto de-risked scale-up and created a pathway to domestic production that is faster and more capital-efficient than the industry norm.
Water-Based Electroplating:
Proven, Scalable, Safe
Prieto’s batteries are manufactured using water-based electroplating, a process that has been used reliably from auto parts to semiconductors to aerospace.
Water-Based Chemistry
No hazardous solvents or materials
Room-Temperature
Processing
Lower energy costs and simpler facilities
No Expensive Proprietary Equipment
Uses established manufacturing infrastructure
Low Capital Expenditure
New facilities can be stood up quickly and cost-effectively
Built to Scale.
Ready to Deliver.
Prieto’s manufacturing process is designed for rapid scale-up using existing contract manufacturing infrastructure. Because the company uses established equipment and processes, new production facilities can be operational in as little as a year, compared to the multi-year timelines typical for battery manufacturing buildouts.
- Validated lab-to-facility process transfer
- Compatible with existing contract manufacturer equipment
- New facilities operational in approximately 12 months
- Significantly lower capital expenditure compared to lithium-ion or conventional sodium-ion manufacturing
Maryland: America’s
Next Battery Factory
Prieto is building a pilot manufacturing facility in Maryland, backed by more than $XX million in state support. The facility will produce MWh sodium-ion batteries for defense applications and will serve as the model for Prieto’s domestic manufacturing expansion.
- $XXM+ commitment from the state of Maryland to support expansion and commercialization
- Pilot facility targeting initial production for defense applications
- Will employ XXX technicians by YEAR
- Designed to serve as a replicable model for future domestic facilities

Built Differently
Grounded in Science.
Driven by Purpose.
Prieto was born on breakthrough research by Dr. Amy Prieto with the goal of advancing energy independence with a technology built to compete and win in global markets.
