The country’s largest manufacturer of zinc batteries is investing $352.9 million to relocate its headquarters from Middlesex County to a larger space in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania.
The move will expand Eos Energy Enterprises’ manufacturing operation in Pittsburgh and retain 1,000 jobs, according to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Eos Energy Enterprises Inc designs, develops, and markets zinc-based energy storage solutions for microgrid (a small, localized network of electricity sources and users that can operate independently from the larger power grid), and industrial applications.
Eos Energy Enterprises was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in the 3000 block of Park Avenue in Edison, according to its LinkedIn profile.
The company designs, develops and markets zinc-based energy storage systems rather than the more common lithium-ion batteries, which have been linked to multiple safety risks.
Eos says its breakthrough Znyth zinc battery was designed to overcome the limitations and dangers of conventional lithium-ion technology.
Pennsylvania is investing $22 million into the move, which will create at least 735 new jobs and retain 265 current positions, Shapiro said in a statement before a formal announcement planned for Wednesday.
Eos said it will move its corporate headquarters from Edison to a 40,000-square-foot office at Nova Place on Pittsburgh’s North Shore in the second half of 2026, according to the statement.
The relocation will support the company’s proprietary battery management system, software, controls and analytics platform, along with its overall corporate operations.
Eos also plans to expand its partnership with local universities — including Carnegie Mellon University — to help develop a skilled workforce in robotics, artificial intelligence, computer science and engineering, the statement said.
According to GlobalData, Eos has roughly 430 employees and is categorized in the clean-technology and energy-storage industry.
In July 2022, Eos announced the establishment of the “Eos Ingenuity Lab” at their Edison headquarters — dedicated to advancing the zinc-battery platform, prototype development for future designs, and engineering/manufacturing processes.
