Anthro Energy is a materials company that offers build batteries to enable radically new electronics. Anthro Energy's flexible, safe, and high-performance batteries are widely used for defense applications The startup is building Kentucky factory that is aimed to become a key node in the emerging U.S. battery supply chain. It will be set up to make a range of electrolytes, though Mackanic said he’d eventually like to see much of the output dedicated to Athro’s own polymer product, Proteus, which is designed to drop into an existing production line with minimal tweaks — a major reason why the startup can begin production using other companies’ formulations. Once customers validate Anthro’s own material, the startup can shift production accordingly.
