ABF, which was incubated from Lion Energy in 2021, is planning to build a $1.2 billion lithium-iron-phosphate battery manufacturing plant that will total 2 million square feet in the Tucson metro.
The new factory, expected to have a $3 billion economic impact on the state, will create an initial 300 jobs for three shifts and scale up to 1,000 employees at full build-out with average annual wages of $65,000. The initial phase of the company's facility will produce 3 gigawatt hours annually and eventually scale up to 16-gigawatt hours annually.
