Redwood Materials laid off about 135 employees, roughly 10% of its workforce, to restructure and better support its growing energy storage business. This follows a previous 5% cut and comes despite a recent $425 million funding round valuing the company over $6 billion. CEO JB Straubel emphasized the company remains strong and profitable in battery recycling, with new momentum in energy storage, including deals with Rivian and Crusoe AI. The layoffs aim to sharpen focus and efficiency amid a tough battery industry landscape, with severance and career support provided to affected workers.
