A123 Future Bright In MetroWest

It appears A123 Systems' presence in MetroWest has survived following bankruptcy and sale of the lithiom-ion battery maker to a Chinese firm, and will perhaps emerge more robust than it was before A123 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2012. The Livonia, Mich.-based company announced a new organizational structure with its owner, Wanxiang Group, last week. In short, Wanxiang will roll its battery-making activities in China into A123 operations that existed there before Wanxiang bought the majority of A123's assets in January. What does this mean for A123's facilities in Westborough and Hopkinton? Not much, according to Roger Lin, director of marketing for A123 in Massachusetts.
