EnPower Rebrands to CAMINUS

EnPower, Inc., a leading U.S. manufacturer of lithium-ion battery cells, has officially announced its rebranding to CAMINUS. This significant change, effective immediately as of October 1, 2026, reflects the company's growth and evolution within the battery manufacturing sector. Despite the name change, the firm assures stakeholders that its leadership structure, team, facilities, intellectual property portfolio, and existing contracts with customers, partners, and suppliers remain intact.

The name CAMINUS is derived from Latin, referring to the forge where Jupiter's lightning bolts were crafted in Roman mythology. This metaphor is fitting as the company now positions itself as a modern-day producer of the 'lightning bolts' that power today's autonomous systems and vital infrastructure.

This rebranding marks a pivotal moment for CAMINUS, which has been on a transformative journey for over a decade. Originally established with a focus on innovation, EnPower recognized that merely being innovative was not sufficient in a rapidly evolving industry. The transition to CAMINUS symbolizes the company's commitment to scaling production and fulfilling urgent demands within the market.

Adrian Yao, the founder and CEO of CAMINUS, emphasized the pressing need for a domestic manufacturing powerhouse dedicated to high-performance batteries. He stated, "Growing a domestic manufacturing powerhouse for performance-driven batteries is becoming a national imperative. By being one of few wholly American-owned cell manufacturers for non-commodity markets, we are also serving as the strategic integrator of IP-rich innovations in the West. CAMINUS is the graduation from a technology promise to an industrial mainstay, and we are building it to last for decades."

CAMINUS operates a state-of-the-art, 92,000-square-foot facility located in the heart of the Industrial Midwest, specifically in Indianapolis. This facility is equipped with vertically integrated powder-to-cell production capabilities, enabling the company to support a wide array of operations including slurry mixing, electrode coating, automated cell assembly, and formation processes. This comprehensive manufacturing capability not only reinforces the company’s commitment to quality but also aligns with the requirements outlined under NDAA Section 842, focusing on national defense, uncrewed systems, and critical infrastructure.

The scope of CAMINUS's offerings includes contract manufacturing, specialty cell production, and selling custom cell and pack products. Such capabilities allow CAMINUS to address specific industry needs while revitalizing specialty battery manufacturing within the United States—a sector that has seen increasing demand due to advancements in technology and increased energy requirements across various applications.

In summary, CAMINUS's renaming from EnPower signifies more than just a change in branding; it reflects a strategic transition towards becoming a stalwart in the lithium-ion battery manufacturing landscape. The company aims to not only meet current demands but also to pave the way for future advancements in energy solutions vital to the success of industries relying on both autonomous systems and energy infrastructure. As CAMINUS forges ahead, it stands committed to leading the charge in the next generation of battery technologies that will power the future.
