Skeleton Technologies Opens First U.S. Facility in Houston

Supercapacitor manufacturer Skeleton Technologies has officially launched its first U.S. production facility in Houston, adding a new energy‑storage asset to the region’s rapidly expanding clean‑tech economy. The company, known for developing high‑performance ultracapacitors and next‑generation energy storage systems, selected Houston as its entry point into the American market due to the city’s established energy presence and advanced industrial infrastructure.

The new facility, announced this week, will support Skeleton’s efforts to scale production of its supercapacitor cells for applications across transportation, grid support, data centers, and manufacturing. While exact production volumes have not yet been disclosed, company leaders emphasized that Houston provides direct access to industrial customers and a strong talent base in electrical engineering and energy systems.

Why Houston Matters for Clean‑Energy Manufacturing

Houston continues to strengthen its position as a national hub for energy transition technologies. Skeleton’s arrival adds another advanced manufacturing player to a region already home to major hydrogen, carbon capture, battery‑technology, and grid‑modernization initiatives. Local leaders also note that the project aligns with ongoing efforts to diversify the city’s energy sector while maintaining its status as a global energy capital.

Skeleton’s technology is designed to deliver rapid charging, long cycle life, and high power output—qualities that complement traditional lithium‑ion batteries rather than replace them. These systems are increasingly used to stabilize power supply for data centers, which are experiencing explosive growth across Texas. They are also aligned with Houston’s emerging role in supporting the digital‑infrastructure economy.

What’s Next

The company plans to expand its U.S. footprint as demand increases, signaling the possibility of additional hiring and production capacity in the future. While no formal job numbers were announced, energy‑tech manufacturing typically brings skilled roles in engineering, operations, and applied research—sectors that align with Houston’s established workforce strengths.

Local economic groups also expect that Skeleton’s presence could attract additional clean‑energy suppliers and innovation partners. As the need for high‑performance energy‑storage systems continues to grow across mobility, heavy industry, and digital infrastructure, Houston appears poised to benefit from increased investment.
