Scania Industrial Batteries launches production in Gdańsk
Scania is strengthening its electrification business by introducing Scania Industrial Batteries. The new unit, based in Stockholm and Gdańsk, focuses on industrial and off-road applications such as mining, construction, and logistics. SIB’s production takes place at the former Northvolt Systems Industrial plant, which Scania acquired.
The launch of Scania Industrial Batteries (SIB) follows the acquisition of Northvolt Systems Industrial in April 2025 and enables Scania to deliver fully integrated electrification solutions, according to Anna Sobolewska, Director of Communications and Marketing at Scania Industrial Batteries in Gdańsk. Scania’s off-road portfolio consists of fully electrified solutions: battery systems, electric motors, software, and dedicated maintenance services. Everything is designed to meet the demanding conditions of difficult terrain, such as mines or construction sites.”
SIB operates a production facility in Gdańsk and an R&D center in Stockholm, drawing on more than seven years of experience in the market.
Elin Åkerström is the CEO of Scania Industrial Batteries in Sweden, and Waldemar Algrzym manages the production plant in Gdańsk. The company employs approximately 150 people in production in Poland and approximately 125 people at the R&D center in Sweden.
The company’s production activities in Gdańsk are based at the former Northvolt plant on Elbląska Street, where battery systems for industry were also manufactured.
SIB manufactures two product lines of batteries (Core and Compacte) that facilitate the electrification of many industrial machines, ranging from 21 to 624 kWh and up to 1000 V. The solutions are available both as part of a complete electric drive system and as stand-alone products. All are designed and manufactured in Europe.
We are seeing growing interest in electrified solutions, particularly in the construction and mining sectors, where the benefits are particularly evident. Electrification allows for significant energy cost savings and emission reductions in the long term, which is crucial for energy-intensive industries, explains Anna Sobolewska.
