Richmond Hill-based Hibar Systems Ltd., which specializes in building ‘complex high speed integrated battery assembly lines,’ now a subsidiary of Tesla

Tesla Inc. has quietly acquired an Ontario-based battery manufacturer in its latest investment in Canada.

The move comes amid Tesla’s well-known manufacturing challenges, having consistently missed ambitious production targets despite making large investments in robotics and other technology to automate its processes. According to its website, the company was founded 30 years ago and has accumulated “technical knowhow and manufacturing capability for automated production of lithium-ion, zinc chloride, lead acid, nickel metal hydride and alkaline batteries.”

Linda Nazar, a professor at the University of Waterloo who works on electrochemical energy storage, said it makes sense for Tesla to invest in batteries.
