Cellcycle, a leading UK lithium battery recycling specialist and part of the SER Group, has signed a Mutual Cooperation Agreement with Kerry Logistics (UK) a member of the global Kerry Logistics Network covering 60 countries, to enhance their battery supply chain solutions, supporting industries from electric vehicles (EVs) to energy storage systems.
This strategic collaboration aims to strengthen battery logistics, recycling, and engineering services across the UK and internationally.
Under this agreement, Cellcycle, alongside its sister division Cellstorage, will work closely with Kerry Logistics to explore opportunities across the battery supply chain—from global logistics and freight forwarding to distribution, maintenance, engineering fieldwork, and lifecycle management. The partnership will leverage Kerry Logistics’ expertise in multimodal freight, warehousing, and customs brokerage to optimise the division’s end-to-end battery solutions.
Building a Robust and Sustainable Battery Supply Chain
With the rapid expansion of the EV market and renewable energy storage sector, the demand for a secure, efficient, and compliant battery supply chain has never been greater. Through this agreement, Cellcycle and Kerry Logistics will focus on overcoming logistical challenges, improving sustainability, and ensuring regulatory compliance for the handling, storage, and recycling of lithium batteries.
By combining Cellcycle’s expertise in battery compliance, handling, and recycling with Kerry Logistics’ international supply chain and freight forwarding capabilities, this partnership will create a comprehensive framework for businesses requiring specialist battery logistics and end-of-life solutions.
Driving Innovation and Sustainability
A key focus of the cooperation is sustainability and the circular economy. Cellcycle is pioneering biotechnological recycling processes to improve the recovery of valuable materials from lithium batteries. By integrating these efforts with Kerry Logistics’ extensive distribution network and supply chain solutions, the partnership aims to reduce waste, extend battery lifecycles, and enhance supply chain efficiency.
“The future of battery logistics requires expertise, efficiency, and a commitment to sustainability,” said Dave Tattersall, Commercial Director at Cellcycle. “By joining forces with Kerry Logistics, we can provide a complete solution for businesses handling batteries—whether it’s storage, transport, compliance, or end-of-life management.”
Ian Dodsworth, Financial Director at Kerry Logistics, added: “We are excited to collaborate with Cellcycle to strengthen the infrastructure supporting the growing battery market. Our logistics expertise, combined with Cellcycle’s deep industry knowledge, will provide businesses with innovative, reliable, and sustainable battery supply chain solutions.”
A Shared Vision for the Future
This Agreement marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between Cellcycle and Kerry Logistics, aimed at enhancing the efficiency, security, and sustainability of the battery supply chain. By combining logistics expertise with battery industry knowledge, the partnership will support businesses navigating the complexities of battery storage, transport, and end-of-life management. As demand for electric mobility and energy storage solutions continues to grow, Cellcycle and Kerry Logistics are committed to delivering innovative, scalable, and compliant solutions that enable a more sustainable and resilient supply chain for the future.
