The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding at SK’s headquarters building in Seoul on Tuesday, with SK On CEO Lee Seok-hee and Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna in attendance.
The collaboration aims to explore new avenues and potential solutions to advance battery cell technology. SK On and Ferrari plan to use their respective expertise, expanding their technological collaboration and exchanging valuable insights.
“We are thrilled to join Ferrari’s electrification journey,” Lee, the SK On CEO, said during the event. “By combining our expertise and technologies, we aim to offer customers new experiences and values.”
The Ferrari CEO also showed high expectations, saying “When companies and suppliers collaborate, shared progress is driven by shared ideas. We are partnering with SK On to explore new frontiers and ignite the energy of shared ideas.”
