A major battery manufacturer has resumed production at its Hungarian plant after halting operations in August due to unsafe nickel exposure among workers. Health and safety concerns led to the temporary shutdown, with authorities investigating potential risks linked to the facility’s production processes. The restart follows what appears to be corrective measures, though details on the specific hazards or regulatory findings remain unclear. Industry observers will be watching whether similar incidents could arise elsewhere as demand for battery materials surges.
CATL restarted operations at its Debrecen battery plant following an August suspension after workers were exposed to high nickel levels.
