A major battery manufacturer has resumed production at its Hungarian plant after halting operations in August due to unsafe working conditions, specifically elevated nickel exposure among employees. Health and safety protocols appear to have been addressed to allow the facility to reopen, though concerns over workplace hazards remain. Regulatory oversight and worker protections will likely be scrutinized in the wake of the shutdown. The restart follows a period of investigation into the conditions that led to the suspension.


CATL restarted operations at its Debrecen battery plant following an August suspension after workers were exposed to high nickel levels.
