Sila has earned ISO 9001:2015 certification for its manufacturing facility in Moses Lake, Washington, marking a milestone as it scales domestic production of its silicon-carbon anode technology.
The internationally recognized standard reflects the readiness of the facility’s quality systems and processes as Moses Lake moves into commercial production. According to Sila, its quality management system supports consistent product quality, end-to-end material traceability, effective risk management, and customer protection.
These capabilities are designed to support the requirements of Sila’s customers, including those requiring NDAA-compliant supply chains.
The Moses Lake facility is operational and uses highly automated production systems designed to minimize operator variability and deliver consistent material outcomes. Its manufacturing execution system manages recipe control, raw material requirements, and reactor readiness, while system redundancy helps ensure consistency across production.
Sila’s quality management system also provides material traceability capabilities, enabling the company to track materials from raw material intake through processing, analytics, and final product.
Chris Dougher, COO of Sila, commented, “We’re demonstrating that advanced battery materials can be manufactured here in America at scale, with the quality systems required to serve the world’s leading OEMs and technology partners. This is another important step in building manufacturing capabilities in the U.S., backed by a relentless focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence.”
The certification also provides a foundation for Sila’s work toward IATF 16949 certification at Moses Lake, which the company says will position it to meet the quality requirements of automotive customers.
Sila previously earned ISO 9001:2015 certification for its Alameda, California facility in 2022. According to the company, more than seven years of 24/7 operations at the site have consistently delivered quality yields above 95% for Titan Silicon production.
Sila has also received a conditional loan commitment of up to $1.4 billion from the United States Department of War through its Office of Strategic Capital. The financing will support the expansion of Sila’s manufacturing capacity at Moses Lake.
The company states that it is the only advanced battery technology company in North America with GWh-scale operations.
