Upcell is pleased to announce the appointment of Giacomo Del Panta, Chief Customer Management Officer at Comau, as the first President of “Together”, the consortium created to operationalize the Upcell Turnkey Solutions initiative.
“Together” has been established as an open, global consortium, uniting technology automation providers and machine builders from around the world to collaborate on gigafactory projects. Its unique structure will ensure a healthy competitive environment while enabling machine builders—particularly in Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific—to gain greater visibility, expand their expertise, and access new opportunities in international markets.
As President, Giacomo Del Panta will play a pivotal role in shaping this ambitious endeavor. His responsibilities will include:
- Implementing the strategy of the consortium in line with Upcell’s mission;
- Acting as its main spokesperson and representative;
- Ensuring transparent and fair governance and managing the conflict resolution process in line with Upcell SAS and the UTKS Steering Committee President;
- Supporting business development, and fostering new opportunities for members worldwide.
“The creation of Together is a significant milestone for Upcell, and Giacomo’s leadership will be essential in driving forward our vision of global collaboration in machine building,” said Claude Laperiere, President of Upcell Alliance.
“It is a privilege to lead the Together consortium and contribute to a shared vision that brings innovation, openness and global collaboration to the forefront of battery energy transformation” emphasized Giacomo Del Panta, President of the Together consortium. “By uniting industry leading automation experts and machine builders under a common framework, we can accelerate the deployment of battery production systems.”
This appointment represents an important step in Upcell’s journey to strengthen the machine-building ecosystem, foster international cooperation, and accelerate the growth of battery manufacturing towards climate neutrality.
Upcell Alliance is a non-profit association with the ambition to build a unique ecosystem with the aim of giving Europe a leading position in the field of electric batteries, providing it with industrial autonomy and reasserting its economic sovereignty.
Upcell Alliance brings together European players from the industrial and academic sectors of the electric battery value chain, to become the industrial ecosystem of reference for electric battery manufacturers in Europe by 2030.
